Wanted to record the partially roughed out bow side profile on this 64" shagbark hickory. Has a natuiral knuckle in middle and slightly r/d limbs which I will enhance with a little heat. cut 6 years ago, ought to be dry.

Nice piece of wood,should make a fine bow.

Unless it has been kept in a hot box or extra dry place it probably ant dry,seasoned but not dry.You know Hickory.

Nice Dave, I like staves like that. They just want to be a bow.
