i know it seems that way , but i try to exhaust all efforts learning a new wood type. so once again one of the two crepe myrtle bows i finished today. 58 inch nock to nock 42 lbs at 28, stained with osage alcohol stain. bow came in light because of a cluster of knots in one limb . the belly side delammed on two dark lines on the belly seperating from the bow about an inch long and 1/8th thick. i glued this by using a syrenge while half drawing the bow to open the gap .tried to get some different back grounds along the creek on my place
