well this is my last piece of seasoned wood, hopeing to get at least 2 out of it, the stave is 7ft, has 6inches of reflex, some twist, small vertical cracks and small borers. to make a warbow out of this will be a challenge, so i figure why not share my possible failure or success with all of you. im hopeing for this to be of warbow strength, but it depends how far i have to go down from the borers.
wish me luck ;)

I think it will be an interesting challenge. As always the wood will be what it will be rather than what you would like ot to be. I hope what you want is in there.

wish me luck
