thanks Cracker
thanks Oldbow, I feel really honoured! the BOM is a great unique future only PA has, making this forum even better ;) thanks for bookmarking and your compliments!
thanks George! gotto thank you on PP aswell, gimme a sec :p
thanks Redwasp! it doesn't have an extraordinary cast, but shoots a lil' quicker than my other sapling bows, probably because of the very little set.
thank you Hawkbow, this one won't make meat, sadly. Bowhunting ain't allowed in the Netherlands!
thanks Rick! Hazel bark is just goodlooking eh? :)

Nice hazelnut bow, Nick. I have a hazelnut stave I'm working on now! 
   I have read about leaving bark on some wood bows but haven't tried it yet. I have added bark as decoration. Any special treatment for hazelnut bark?

thanks Pat! goodluck with your staves! take care with the hazel bark, you'd better sand it thin, since it likes to crack. You'll need a young and thin bark, so probably a 2" or thinner sapling.

yeah thanks Bulit! I'll do ;)

thanks JbL!

thanks alot staver! now go out! :p

thank you Bear!

thanks Medicineweel, bark seems to have something attractive :)

Dana, cruel world is already intruding, with a test week. ,, wich tomorrow starts :p Gotto start learning right now ;)

Nick, thanks for the insight. Thinning the bark(probably mostly the cambium?) makes since. I won't try it with my hazelnut because it is from a bigger stave but I will with a sapling.  Thanks!
