The buds of the hickory here are beginning to open a bit revealing the leaves and I'll cut a log or two soon from 12 to 14 inch diameter tree.Want to make sure the sap is flowing well so the bark will pop off easily.The revealed backs then are the back of the bow and are pretty cool.Should easily get two 6" lengths of log from it.
If you have access to more seasoned hickory.Have at it because these will need some time to dry properly.

BowEd, I would be out with my saw today )-w(, but I am in Utah and have never seen a hickory tree in my life.  :'( I am going to have to order or trade for a stave.
