So im starting to get board with boards, its starting to feel very, routine. Anyone wanna give me some ideas on different styles and designs i can try.

P.S; all i have is hickory boards, cant afford the expensive ipe and stuff.

Make that yew bow thief! That little branch will dry in weeks where your at.

lol, ive been working on getting the twist out. lots of steaming and clamping.

[PEARL DRUMS]

One steam and one clamp. Get her done with as little heat and little sessions as needed.

If i can get it straight it should be a nice bow. Im saving some boa skins for it.

Do a kerf cut static with a board hot shot. Bet you don't get bored with it and I bet you can do it.

[BOWMAN53]

I have no idea what that is, and that's exactly why i asked lol.

[PEARL DRUMS]

Scalloped Eastern Woodland bows are always fun! Plenty of them were made from hickory. Look cool.
