looks to me like it ws overly dry and seperated at the rings
i have a pignut that did that just on the very back layer of wood
mine was just getting first brace when it let loose,took about 8 inches of wood from one limb
just the nicest thinest layer of wood too,it was even translucent
The bow was at 8%, just a little wetter than I normally tiller Hickory to.

maybe its just fate then.
i never use a meter.i just figured by the looks of mine that it was because it was to dry

Sailordad,
I don't use a mositure either, just a humidity ga. with a temp calculation over time, EMC.

Shannon,
I have made several bows from that same tree. First issue that I had with it not really understanding the term you are using.

Jawage,
The handle was working a little on this bow, could have been longer but have made them much shorter with no issues.

That sure is the way to do it if your gonna break one 8)  I'm surprised hickory did that to you though.  I got away with carving a turtle in the center-back of one of mine.

But it was an issue with this bow IMHO. When you under build you take your chances. :) Jawge
