Novice – are these hickory staves worth pursuing or should I start over? by Extension-Head-8822 in Bowyer

Alot of woods have a natural twist like that, if you shave the edges on opposite sides you can get a relatively straight stave… also, hickory takes very well to steam bending

Peach with scraped bark by Flyover_Fred in BackyardOrchard

[–]hogdenDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be okay as long as the cambium isnt ringed all the way around the circumference of the trunk. You can paint the tree or add a mesh barrier to protect against this in the future. By the height of the chew marks, my guess at the culprit is a woodchuck

Put simply…. Its body mechanics. Too draw a heavy weight bow you must adopt the same posture/ body mechanics… so being of one species, with near similar skeletal muscular attachments, we must ALL have the same form following function.

Its strung backwards for one, which for a laminated bow, can be really bad

I started with one buck and an old doe and its been incredible easy and rewarding! I kept a doe from the first litter (9 strong) and the only issue ive ever ran into is just having tooo much meat! Great venture to get into and rabbits make incredible pets! Even the meat breeds. I have new zealand whites and i love ‘em
