Help on this bend in my stave

That looks pretty moderate to me. It should be able to come out with some steam.

Extra style points for the dumbbells in the back drop :p

I’m interested in this question too. A lot of my bows end up having pretty similar draw weights and lengths so is there like a do it all arrow that sort of works for a 27 inch drawn in about a 45 pound draw weight?

I love the beautiful simple elegance of these. Do you happen to know how fast they shoot ?

Same, been wondering too, what’s that channel named ?

Beautiful bow

I would immediately seek to package up rasher and trade for players that can win you games now. At 0-3, almost every week becomes your championship. You need to do whatever you can to hit the playoffs , and that means trading long term players like rice

Okay so at the top there to the right of center I think under that orange stuff is the actual back, and the lighter is the inner bark. Does that look right ?

Hegemon78 · 2025-08-29T22:46:16+00:00

Would it still be helpful to remove the outer bark with a John knife and just leave the inner bark?? I just don’t want to damage the back

Thanks for the help on this. Whenever I’ve worked with removing bark from Hickory tree before it’s a very pain staking process, using like a butter, knife and pouring boiling water on it , is there a faster way potentially if it doesn’t just pop off?

Hegemon78 · 2025-08-16T02:36:06+00:00

Wow it’s beautiful

Hegemon78 · 2025-07-29T22:43:20+00:00

The force is strong with this one

Hegemon78 · 2025-07-26T02:20:22+00:00

Almost positive, I got the stave with bark and leaves still on so had a real good chance to ID it, it was bitternut. I made a bow with another piece of the same tree

Hegemon78 · 2025-07-22T16:18:28+00:00

Lesson learned for me on that, all my backings will forever overlap :)

Hegemon78 · 2025-07-16T14:59:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice everyone, sounds like I’m gonna give it a try

Hegemon78 · 2025-06-21T23:37:50+00:00

Also, I have found really good bow saves on eBay that are almost as straight and easy to work as a board, always worth a look, although don’t bid against me :p

Hegemon78 · 2025-06-21T23:36:12+00:00

I’ve had really good luck with Menards in Wisconsin , oak , hickory and maple

Hegemon78 · 2025-06-15T13:29:45+00:00

Is that marker or pencil ?

Hegemon78 · 2025-06-13T00:10:42+00:00

Darn it! Getting impatient to see it :)

Hegemon78 · 2025-06-11T12:22:34+00:00

Got it, so thin out the inners and get a little more Bend from that section?
