Thanks for the offer sleek, however; this stave is already profiled and tillered to brace. I'm just mainly wanting this bow finished so I can hunt this fall. Also I cut two 6ft 16" diameter osage logs last week and have 12 staves curing.

Well shoot, you aint wastin no time! Hope it works out for you.  I just like that thing ring stuff, didnt know you had it so gar along. You will find thin rings are better as you go along, and they often look better too.

No prob, if you want hedge I can get you metric tons of it.   :laugh:
I got the hang of chasing a ring but I didn't know if my design I went with sounded plausible.

Bring that thing to springfield next weekend and we will give you all the help we can.  You could have it shooting by Saturday afternoon.
