Post by: lukelawrence171 on April 18, 2014, 11:49:49 am

i bought this stave a while back it was well seasoned for over 4 years when i got it i split over 4 staves from the log and this bow came from the worst stave the upper lime is straight but the bottom limb is a different story it has a huge knot that i thought would break once i violated it but the other day i got bored and started to work on it again.here is the outcome
