Progress on Apple wood bow

<< < (3/3)

Aaron1726:
Thanks Oki, I'll remember that.

Lost Oki:
Well, the sun set on the Apple wood bow.  Cleaned the back up on both sides but made the hinge worse.  Tried to thin rest of limb to eliminate hinge but had just too many knots to work around and ended up with two bad spots at knots; see attached picture. 
I have another stave, 70" long but has a limb at 26" that I may be able to work around.  If not, then I will have to cut the 76" long by 5.5" dia limb  that i have.  Ends were waxed back in the fall but bark is on and it has not been split.  It also has a few knots. :BB :BB
