Knot holes

(1/2) > >>

Muskyman:
Making my third bow from hickory I cut down in my woods.
It’s got a couple pretty big knot holes in one limb a little off center. Should I fill those?
Probably about a half inch +- around on the bigger one.

Any thoughts
Thanks

Pat B:
Welcome to PA.  Pics would help to make a decision but if they are clean knots or knot holes and have enough room around them you should be OK to just leave them as they are. You can fill them if you like.

Trying to post pictures

Pat B:
If the back ring is unviolated into the knots you should have no problems with the knots. Keep the tiller a bit stiffer at the knots.

Muskyman:
Back is okay, fill them?
