I got some quality work done today.  I tried splitting the bottom of this stave off along a single ring before sawing out the bow.  I really didn't need to, I just wanted to try it out on a shorter stave. 

 


It worked!



I got it and the deflexed stave cut out.  The shorter bow is 52" long.  I have plans on sinew backing it.  It might be my hunting bow next fall.  After I got it roughed out I chased it down 1 ring to the final back.  It took forever because the back is concave and I had to scrape it down the center for most of the length.  The ring was about 1/4" thick to.

Was 8 here in SW Pa this morning with some wind. But the darn oil furnace won't run, guess that's because I have the wood burner cranking:) Have hot water baseboard heat and the wood burner has a water jacket in it and I have the oil furnace and wood burner sitting side by side and piped in parallel with each other. Just love it when it's this cold outside and I'm not burning any oil.

Well Dave yes I have and it does burn very hot. But I only burn small pieces of what's been trimmed off, or hate to say it but I have burned pieces of BBO bows that didn't quite work out and got cut into 4 or 5 pieces. LOL

We burnt almost all osage when I was younger.  Thats all I thought it was good for until I learned about making bows.  It hurts to think of how many staves Dad sent up the chimney  :'(
