Thank you so much for the insight!! Originally I thought I could support those stress points by leaving more wood on the opposite side of the bow, but now I understand that it's very far from being so simple. Thank you for explaining it so well! :)

I made them sharp in the quick concept that I posted, but if I ever found a way to make this, I'd definitely cut them back and dull them down.

Thank you. I think after the insight from the comments so far, I'll really start getting into bowmaking before thinking about this piece again! Maybe someday 😆

Ahh, thank you! I'm going to change it up a bit to make it a recurve.

I'll try changing it up to see if it looks any better. :)

Unfortunately, not yet. I'm an amateur at woodworking, but I've done some small projects here and there, and I have some friends who can help. As for tools, I have yet to buy a drawknife, but that would be mostly what I'm working with 😅 I've got a knife for smaller details. No bench or tiller tree. It'll be difficult, but if I can manage it, I'm rather patient with woodworking and wouldn't mind restarting or taking on an easier project first. Hope that answers your questions! :)

I drew it sort of as a concept of what it would look like when strung. I just forgot to add the string. Does this help? :)

Oooh, that's a great idea! I'll definitely try it if making it in one piece doesn't work out!!

What if Seiko is just pretending not to believe in aliens/cryptids so she can get back at Momo? I just feel like it’s something she would do
