You really did good on that little sapling. Makes me want to cut a bunch.

Thanks for the link Willie!  May have to try that design, since I have ties to that region!  Would use the best available wood.  Also like the Meare Heath design,  closer to the Celtic, I think!

Aksel, it started with a naturally deflexed stave, reflexed with heat.

Ben, It's not a REAL mollie, just has the wider bending inner limbs and stiff, thicker, narrow outer limbs.

This was a good example to me of how much bow you can get out of a very little tree.

Thanks, guys!
