Hackberry Stave build up
JW_Halverson:
No need to chase a ring once the bark is off. Just be careful that you don't nick the back!
Mike_H:
Don't have to tell me twice. I think Coaster500 may have taken the bark off for me. I told him I always had that problem.

Toomanyknots took the bark off and roughed the stave for me, i rasped some material off when i noticed the flex in the limbs when my mother took a photo of the bend there was more stiffness in the upper limb, it had some heart wood left i took it down a bit and it is bending better, i need to get more info on floor tillering and practice on board bows as it was suggested to me, and i want to make a form to make a recurve flat bow for a friend

It's a real pretty wood and would make chasing a ring pretty easy. At least I think that's what the small chunk of wood is.
At any rate, I will post a thread about it and do more videos on my youtube channel.

Mike the sample is not hackberry. It's a chunk of hardwood for the tips (I can't remember what hardwood I put in the box :-\ ) I sent the rawhide so you could back the bow and not worry so much about it. I just want you to get a shooter :)

With your help and the help of everyone here and on paleoplanet, I should. :)
