3.14 was wrong because this vidio shows that charing a ring is easier than Pi

2 mins and 8 seconds is how long it took him.

I see you have a pin knot scraper like the one I showed how to make several years ago in a tutorial.

[Stalkingfox]

LOL!! So Scott... John ...you guys ready for this? I think Ive been using my drawknife backwards bevel up.   :embarassed:

[Stringman]

I actually bought one while at MOJAM and broke it, so I had to make my own. Very handy little gadget!

Here's a pic of the finished stave.

Ok, I'm an idoit...lol I did'nt realize it had already been posted as to the amount of time it took. I am glad you guys did this though so that it demystifies chasing a ring. its really no big deal once you get used to the knife your using. Nice post fellas and good to see your ugly mugs.    Danny

what ya mean you wont think itll make a bow?  its the king,theres a bow in there easily...ive had a few bows riddled with worse checks than that...just keep that long one in the bow and the ones off to the side will not be in the bow once layed out

[iowabow]

Well bevel up bevel down I have seen it done effectively both ways.

So here is the challenge can anyone chase 6 rings faster than 2m8s?

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed the video,  just a couple guys having fun on the weekend.

Now here is the big question is there a wood that can be finished in 2 minutes on one side for making a bow? If not then osage is king for sure.
