Primitive Archer

I cut lots of staves with burls on them. I'm trimming some burls off the end as I trim staves down. Anyone have an interest in short stave sections with burls, or whole staves with burls? The burls are around 3 to 4 inches wide.  Id imagine bows could be made with the burls on the bow if you are the artsy type and enjoy headaches. Staves are only 1 year old but straight and wide.

Between emotions and thirst, there dropping like flys. The key to me is the warer bottle.

It is a state thing; the feds don't consider a B/P gun a firearm.

My thoughts exactly Hamish, been doing it for 40 years but every now and then I see someone doing something and think,  Man I never thought of that and I am always careful when people want me to help them to add " this is how I do it but it is for sure not the only way to get it done " their are a few rules that really need to be followed but the rest just find what works for you.

Thank you for that information I was a little worried that I may be going to narrow too start with even though the staves are pretty dense. I'm only shooting for 45 lb 50 lb maybe a little bit over so when the bow is complete most likely I'll be under 1.75 inches probably closer to 1.5.

Sounds promising.  Good luck!
