Post by: snedeker on February 18, 2008, 04:05:15 pm

Wanted to record the partially roughed out bow side profile on this 64" shagbark hickory.  Has a natuiral knuckle in middle and slightly r/d limbs which I will enhance with a little heat.   cut 6 years ago, ought to be dry.

Nice Dave, I like staves like that. They just want to be a bow.  ;D
