Little Hickory D

(1/3) > >>

Kegan:
Well, outta the hickory haul I had two satves taht dried really quickly, being thinner and shorter. So, I went to work and one snapped (there was a really bad thin spot that occured while splitting). So i set to work on the other one, shich was a bit more snakey and slightly longer. SO here it is so far- 52" long, about 1 1/4" at the handle, roughly 52# at 22". I still have to heat treat the belly and put a finish on it, but it taught me alot about how the width of the limbs affect the draw length. Saves alot of space too ;D.

Looking good!  I'm working on a 52" hickory myself, I hope it comes out as good as yours.  I think I'll heat-treat my belly when its done too.
