I have a hickory board that I making into a pyramid bow. 72" long and 2"wide at the fades (over building). The right side is heart wood and the left is sap wood, is this an automatic fail or is it do-able?

It's doable as long as the grain is straight enough, I recommend a backing of some sort.
-
as long as the grain is fine, it's called beautiful ;) I love the contrast on bows like these, just tillered one out to 29" like you just described. took a lot of set because i think it wasn't quite dry, but no problems. post a pic and we can tell better :)

Thanks guys. Ill post a pic when I can figure out how to lol.

if you're having trouble with pic sizing just use paint to re-size or to crop.

Quick instructions:
create a photobucket acct, upload pics (u can adjust upload settings to resize all photos, i think i use 640x480 or close to it), view album, hover over pic you want, a list of options will appear, left click on the bottom url (says "img code" next to it). Then you can paste the url into the msg
