That happened to me with my first yew bow. Trying to force it just won't work. I'm sure you will turn out a winner

A set of side lams should fix your hickory.

Looked like a pretty fine stave from the picture. Was that one that you got from Sidewinder?

No,  for some reason I thought hi name was Ben. He had a trailer full of staves right next to sidewinder. Really tall slim fella.
It seems a very nice stave,  but it had a couple of pin knots positioned in some bad places. So I had to modify my layout a touch.

I remember the staves and the trailer but I'd thought they were Sidewinder's. There was some good looking osage in that pile.

Not really sure where I got Ben from...
He is a super nice guy to. I enjoyed visiting with him. See if you can get ahold of him John and see if he can come to mojam. I would love to trade him out of another stave or 10! :laugh:

Well I got a pretty decent floor tiller on my bow today. Made a very minor string alignment,  which came out perfect on only one try!  I decided to put the overlays on. I probably got a little carried away shaping them since it's not tillered yet. But I got only one shaped out.  I'll say it again,  Buffalo horn is hard stuff! It's harder than using a a chainsaw file to remove a concrete slab!

Nice looking arrows knoll.
Good looking tips patrick.
Well I got some more work done to my trade bow yesterday I have it braced from floor tiller to about 2 to 3 inches and tillered it out to about 9 inch so far. I love the looks of the sap wood back . That was the first sap wood ring I have ever run on a stave . But I do like the color difference.
