Here is a red elm stave roughed out, cherry accents. 1 3/8'' at the fades tapers to 5/8'' tips. Long ways to go yet.

Hey Fred, that is looking like it may make a great bow man! Too bad about the keys.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Finaly off to a slow start. Picked out a poor looking osage stave and chased a ring today. Now to decide what kind of design this poor stave can handle with the problems it has.

First problem - length
Only 80" to work with.


Second problem - width
Only 3" wide.


Third problem- thickness
Just under 1 1/4" thick


Fourth problem- poor ring count
Only 6 rings in the whole 1 1/4" thickness


 >:D >:D

WoW! Perfect!  8) What do you want to do with it? I'd cut it in quarters and make 4 kids bows :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

He doesn't need 4 kids to pass it on. Great looking stave and you shouldn't have any problems meeting the lucky guys specs with that one.

  She's all done. Just needs a little more shooting then off she goes to her new home. Might even be another little surprise in shipping tube to keep the bow company on the trip.  ;)
