pole or sapling stave
Pat B:
Kenneth, this will be winter cut hickory with the bark stuck. That's what I was going for. Will it work for you?
Little John:
Patrick, 2 1/2" plus or minus would probably be perfect, the less wood removal the better. Any way I will try to let the wood tell me what kind of a bow it wants to be. I need at least one totally primitive bow in my arsenal, hope I can pull it off.
Pat, yes stuck winter bark would be fine and would make a real cool bow if I can do my part. Hopefully the community can help me out, would be nice if it could turn out to be a bonafide hunting bow. Maybe I should plant some linen in the garden. Well then I will need a birch bark canoe, so where doe it all end. Well it is the journey that counts any way.

The locust I'm planning on cutting is about 4 inches or so. Patrick
duke3192:
Little John, I've got half of a split osage limb, it is about 2" wide and an inch thick, 70" long, but the bark is still on and this has been in my shop for ten years +.
Little John:
Duke, I would love to have the osage pole. The other one I worked with came out ok but under weight and I know I can do much better with the next one.
