I am going to look like an idiot I know but I'm just starting in making bows and it seems like everything I read says find as straight a grain as possible. How in the world can you make a bow out of that kind of grain. I have just been curious about that.

Cool looking piece of wood Cory.  Looks big enough for a couple of bows?

Swamhuntr  you can get away with a lot on laminated bows.
Probably what you have been mostly reading about is self bows or one wood bows in which straight grain is what you but there are exceptions to that also.
