I am keeping the bow to about 25" draw and getting my dad's "new" stave ready it is 66" tip to tip. should be able to get it ready in a short while as long as the 3 knots in the stave behave themselves. i'll try to get some pics if at all possible of the other one if i can. it is pretty but ugly at the same time. and does anyone know where i can get hichory at not sure if the i can get it at stores around here.going to make a backing for a maple bow
