--- Quote from: Badger on December 26, 2023, 04:45:42 am --- I have done that a few times now but I treated it more like a straight grained board.  took the edges down to where it was flat but made sure I was still on one ring for each strip.

Sort of a backhanded de-crowning, I get it.  I think I may fool around with keeping the belly rounded in order to follow growth ring integrity further along the limbs.

But this goes on the backburner now since I have another 7 staves to remove sapwood and checked heartwood before I get serious about actually making bows. When I made that flying trip to Nebraska back in mid-November I planned on having all 12 staves down to a single growth ring and sealed up before December 1st. I'm just a little off the deadline.

These are the ones Gary and I done, it was small diameter , note the bark still on the inside handle of mine, they made some fine bows.  ;)

JW_Halverson:
Bark still on the grip? That's terrific!
