Hello Mox,
It is a good accomplishment to create a bow out of a piece of wood, isn't it?
You've done a nice job.  You may find it much more comfortable to use the file or rasp that removed the limb wood and round the corners of your handle some.  Other than that keep enjoying the fun of bow making.
