volume 4 issue 3 is the one that has the article on black walnut longbow by T.J. Newman if I have everything down correctly.  The Hackberry article was a Zimmerman one so I am assuming it was medicinal not about bow making....where did you get all that wood anyway?  Only from someone really really WONDERFUL... ;D

Justin Snyder:
YES SOMEONE WONDERFULL. Well that is to say someone wonderfull helped me to get it.  Thanks Knothead,  ;D ;D Justin

Justin Snyder:
I just thought I would give you an update.  I stripped the bark off of some of the wood and left it on others. I sealed the ends on everything. Those with the bark on are fine. Those with the back sealed are fine.  The walnut with the back not sealed is fine, but the hackberry with the back not sealed checked all to pieces.  Of course I have them in my hotbox, (outside).  ;D I think the hickory bows I was working on at the classic should be plenty dry now.  It is 86* and overcast, but the humidity is only 11%.  Ill bet Greg cant even do that in a hotbox.  ;D Justin
