Maple sapling
« on: October 05, 2013, 11:14:57 pm »
The other day I cut a maple sapling. I is about 3" on the big end down to about 2" . I can probably get 68" out of it. What would be a good design for a stave like this. I have made a few board bows and 1 hickory stave bow but that is about all.
    Thanks. B-dog

It's tension wood, so the crown on that should help. It'll make any flat style from flatbows to mollegabets.

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.
Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.
