Eric Krewson:
I have never had a side check stave make a good bow that would hold up. As hard as it is to turn what looks like a premo stave, except for the side checks, into tool handles or fire wood, I have found not using the wood for bows saves me a lot of work and grief in the end.
chamookman:
I'm pretty sure, Bruce and I will be up for an "early" visit! Bob
Pappy:
Great Bob !!! Ya Eric I have had the same experience, I have managed to get a few good bows from some with side checks but I cleaned them up before lay out and then just went with what I had left to work with, these were laid out years ago and only had so much room for clean up, clearly didn't do a good job when I first cleaned them up and laid them out. :)
