« on: August 03, 2015, 12:38:47 pm »


this is my hickory sapling molle. (with granddaughter)  56" long 1 3/8 wide . Bends through the handle. 55 lbs at 24".
I used a dk. brown leather die and steel wooled it back to get colors. sealed with bear oil.

The lower limb snakes a bit with a twist. The string lines up perfect through the handle.
It had what I thought was a longitudinal crack at the upper tip. Ended up being some inner bark I didn't
get off.
