This is great!i cant believe you can make these bendy thing's into Bows  :D.

I cut my first stave for a bow yesterday,it was a big piece of elderberry (Sambucus Canadensis) i know it's not very good for bows but i thought it would do for practacing on as i have no idea what i'm doing  :D,it was only going to get chopped up anyway so why not...I cut it and debarked the whole thing,marked the bow out then went to bed,when i came home from work the next day the bloody thing was full of cracks  ;D.
I should of left the bark on shouldnt I ?

Not to worry,i've got my eye on another one to ruin  ;D.

Nice going Manny! I forgot to mention since I thought the sinew would be going beyond the tip and onto the belly. You may want to wrap some sinew arround the arrea where the sinew ends at the nocks to keep it from pulling up. Its not as much of a problem when it wraps arround the tip and onto the belly. Hope this helps!

Manny, If you need a bit more sinew, I'll be happy to send some. Just let me know.    Pat

...Well this Eucalyptus doesn't feel like it wants to bend all that easyly,  I think once I get it out of the form it might spring back to the original shape ::)
