I probably should have given up on this one a long time ago, but it turned into a challenge and I thought I could make something unique out of it. I think I've taken it as far as I can, and it actually shoots a decent arrow, but it will never be long for the world if shot a lot. The crazy kinks and bends in the wood created some natural hinges that I tried to work around. It also developed several parallel cracks that I wrapped with thread. If nothing else it really improved my skills at chasing a ring working through this one. I used the big swoop in the center to create a center shot arrow rest made out of walnut, and filed in some finger grooves for a better grip.
