Stave with one limb with knots
« on: May 08, 2016, 10:32:26 pm »
Hello all I have a stave that was started by a fellow that sells staves, K and something archery or bows, I'll update when I remember the company name.
Any how, he did a stave roughed out, it was 73.5 inches long, I cut to 68 inches, it's almost floor tillered,  my problem is one side has a stiffer limb because some knots in it, it's stiffer and the other side is curving beautifully,  I wasn't to back it with some canvas or some sinew if I can find it, I live it so far, it will be a off hand shooter it's all hickory and the grain so far I love it, I'll post a link to my photos later, just thought I'd ask for some advice on the knots, they are in the middle of the limb

As Pat said, post pics. Some knots cause problems some not. Let's see what you have ...
