stinks when that happens,the bow was looking sweet too!  I've got a sweet birch sapling that I'm goona start work on soon and now I'm nervous about knots in birch! I have built a couple already and I can say this,be careful if you back it,I used hickory to back and it was so strong it crushed the belly like an accordion!! I think I'm going to try cherry next time!  I hope you can fix er'   Gl,Ron

I've found that knots, despite how the tiller looks, are a likely place for chrysals to show up. Especially on weaker woods. I'm sure we all got a favorite bow tucked away somewhere, that has a couple chrysal patches, that we just don't tell nobody about. Tim Baker said that it's still a bow until the back fails. I think if you noticed alarmingly increasing set in that area as well as dramatic draw weight loss, then there would be cause for concern. Or they kept increasing or more started showing up. But as long that doesn't happen I personally would be very happy with that bow.  :laugh: The tiller looks great to me from the start.
