Hoping this weekend is going to be a littlle slower paced than last weekend. I have my Plan B stave to chase a ring on, and I'm considereing trying to work Plan A to floor tiller to get a little less wood on there that has to dry.
I've been watching the back on that stave to see if it has any checks appearing. For those of you who use Osage a lot, one a ring is chased, should I reapply a sealent to the back to keep it from possibly checking?
Also, that stave is probably 1.5" to 1.75" thick, maybe even 2 inches in places. Should I think about splitting it again from the belly side, to get it down to maybe between 3/4 and 1" thick? If I go that route, should I kerf it like I did the back? If that works, maybe I can use the belly split part to make my daughter(s) a bow, I have some bamboo that would work for a backing, it's only 3/4 inch wide after thinning it to 1/8", so I can't use it on a "grownup" bow (not long enough for an ELB type bow either).
