I don't know where you live but if you have humid summers she will/may soften up a bit as the humidity rises. Not much you can do about it but it will regain it's snap when the humidity drops again.
  Hickory is one of my favorite bow woods. I just accept the changes that comes with weather changes. It doesn't effect the way I feel about it as bow wood.  ;)

I agree with the rest, very nice bow you got there. Sounds to me like you really understand the wood and it shows.

Great job on a small diameter piece of wood - you nailed it !! The knots really add to the natural theme . Top shelf all the way!!

Thanks everyone. I have been learning from all of you for quite a while now and I would like to send out a huge thank you for all the information that you guys so willingly give out to everyone.I can truly say this bow would not exist without you.I have not posted very much because I have not felt my skills were good enough.Sorry about the poor pic quality I will try to get a better one.

Really nice job on that one. Tiller and unbraced profiles speak volumes.
