Sounds like you're really getting into the craft! Learning the terms and techniques step by step is part of the fun. Good luck with the bow stave—careful with that hatchet, and enjoy the process!

The part of the bow facing the target is the "back" of the bow. The other side facing the archer is the "belly".
Glad I finally started. It's perfect weather to start too. 
Hatchet needs a sharpening. Would be a good hobby to add. 
Shortcut! Can split off small chunks to get to bow stave size faster. Just be careful you don't split too close to the belly. 
Forgot the word "belly" hear. But good outline of general goal for next step.
