Everyone needs one of this kind of stave in their stable of staves. If you let it, it will teach you a lot about wood, its characteristics and limitations, about wood bows and about yourself. Find the most difficult stave you can imagine and make a bow out of it. Don't worry about the draw weight or how pretty it looks or how long it takes you to make it into a bow but concentrate on what is important in a wood bow; perfect tiller, making both limbs bend evenly and together. Once you learn that, there is not a stave on earth that you won't be able to make a bow from.

Great words of wisdom. I might just have to start on a very intimidating hawthorn stave after reading this. Can't way to see the finished bow by the way!

Well, here she is all finished up for Charlie except for a little more shooting. I think she came out pretty good. She shoots well but with a little hand shock. I think that is because one side of the bow is stiffer because of the "warts" along that side. She came out at 47#@26"(tillered to 28").
Here she is...

Pleased is a very big understatement Pat.  I am in shock...lol.  That is simple beautiful.  You work has always amazed me my friend and I learn from you every time I read or hear something you say.  This gift will be cherished for life, not only because of it beauty and character, but more so, because of who made it for me.  I thank you so very much, and I am truly blessed and honored my friend.

I really like that stitching pattern on the grip. Braced profile looks excellent. Thanks for sharing!

The stitch is pretty easy and starts with a baseball stitch then bring both threads back up under the first stitching . When you get to the top start back down criscrossing the threads and under the last stitch....if that makes sence.  ???

 Here in another braced and the full draw pic...
