Muskyman:
Planning on taking the bark off today. Also has some reflex in it also
BowEd:
Nice looking stave.
Here's a couple bows from a similar log.
Using this first one here this deer season.

TimBo:
Keep in mind that if you split a reflexed stave right down the middle, you may end up with two staves that will need a lot of lateral straightening... try to visualize the finished staves before splitting. As mentioned, debarking first will probably help.
Muskyman:
Didn’t get its bark off today but planning on getting it off tomorrow.
Great looking bows BowEd really like the the handle out of jute on the one. I’ll have to try that one day
BowEd:
In a lucky scenario on your small sapling log.One stave will have the reflex.The other the deflex.Second half split will make an outstanding natural heat treated deflex reflex bow.
Sapling bows can perform outstandingly.
