All I can say fellas is this.....I've broke 'em before, I'm still breakin 'em, and I will probably break some more before I'm all done >:D >:D

Turtle, looks like you have a damned fine bend going there even with the character, that's an even bend going on sir.

MW, believe it or not Ironwood will tolerate that usually....untill some idiot wants a lot of weight on a 1" wide whitewood bow.....honestly I dont believe that would of happened if the weight was in the 50-60# range. 
Maybe I should change my name to "operator error" 8)

Rich, toss a bamboo backing on it. That will take care of it mighty fine. I done that before on a hickory bow.

Good to know Rich - I have some ironwood drying that I cut last year.  I have heard lots of good thing about it and looking forward to working with it.

half eye: I think it broke due to your non ergonomical pull, straight back and push with your legs >:D

Thanks for the sentiments fellas......but really not necessary. I dont like to break one for sure....but I aint gonna pour gas on my head and light it >:D  Just went and cut out another blank.

Turtle: will do brother....by the way, I never could pull that much weight 8) Anything over 60# and you all get the two hand pics, eh?

Knoll, your computer aint got enough memory if I sent pics of every stick I've ever broke, used to measure them by the garbage can full !!!

MW....I was tellin the truth bud, I dont think anything about cutting right through a knot (on the edge) this was just a case utter foolishness.

ajooter, absolutely sir....all of us like the abuse ::)

Mr. Andersson....now that was funny right there

Thanks for kind words guys. With all the dips and bumps this has I have been paying extra attention to my thickness taper. Even used my calipers for the first time in a couple years.

Otter's doing ok. He's just letting his staves loose a little moisture. I'll give him another week then I'll kick him Into gear.  >:D
