Sister staves
Pappy:
I plane on getting started on one of these this weekend,just don't know witch one to start on,One I plane on snake skins when finished and wanted to make a matching pair but one has a knot hole in it and don't want to cover it up.Decisions ??? decisions it's always something in this bow building stuff. :)

TRACY:
First, I saw Manfred and his wife at Compton gathering in Mich. Recognized him from your pics from Cloverdale and I have to say that I can understand your incentive to split his stave well. Big guy!
Now back to my question on the knot and snakeskin. Is it possible to lay the skin over the hole and then use scissors to pierce the skin at that spot and make short cuts that will allow you to glue the skin into the hole? Just a thought.
OldBow:
Great pictures, Pappy! Good story. I got to get me a stave like those. I'm very envious.
Pappy:
Tracy I hadn't really thought of that but might be a good idea.OldBow they are kind of few
and far between,everyone thinks I have a bunch of them but you only get some with that much snake once in a while,that is why I tried so hard to get 3 out of that piece of wood.So far so
good. :)

DCM:
The perfectly wretched stuff is more scarce than the perfectly straight stuff, which is darn near unheard of, ain't it Pappy. Curious to see what you come up with. Straight clean bows get boring pretty fast.
