The blow blew up last night. I put the string on it and thought Id shoot a few short draw shots. I braced it, and tugged the string maybe 20" and a knot let go into four pieces she went! Oh well. Start another, that's two in a row for me. Bad luck this fall :)

I know when they won't be a problem. When I leave them in the tree and walk away.   ;D

That sucks and a punch in the gut....What do ya think does it just dry out a little more to do that?You've got another stave there though.If I remember it was a cleaner stave.The worm will turn.
I'm after another red cedar here too.I've taken my punches in the gut from that stuff.All my fault though.....lol.

Man that sucks Chris.  Would have loved to seen that one bend before hand. If you ain't breaking you ain't making!  >:D

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!
