Thanks for the nice comments everyone.  The finish is 6 coats of tru-oil.  I can never get hickory sanded as smooth as I can osage.  When you see it up close, don't laugh at the sanding marks on the sides of the limbs. 

Blackhawk:  If you remember, I spent most of last year working on a big project ;D

Nice job Clint. I quit working with hickory because in our humidity they start out snappy and turn out sluggish. Hope this one turns out different for you.  Danny

I hope so Blackhawk.  I'm trying to get that bullet hole bow done before next week.  And I've got another sinewed bow curing out.  I need to get working on a hunting bow for this fall also.  I won't be cranking them out like some of you guys  ;) , but I hope to get a few more done this year.  See you next week.


Sidewinder:  I'm not a big fan of hickory because of the same reason.  I know its good bow wood, I just think its better suited for a different climate than we have.  I doubt I'll cut any more hickory trees.

Your sinew backing changes the game Clint. Dont give up on it just yet.

Very nice bow Clint...  that one needs to make a trip to California. This dry weather would ring out every ounce that shooter could muster!!

Just a thought  >:D

I have another shorter hickory bow roughed out from last year to.  Maybe I'll give it another try.  I wish HHB grew around here like Hickory does.  That stuff doesn't mind the humidity as bad.


Thanks for the kind comments everyone  :)
