Falcon hickory ain't too bad, hard to keep tools sharp. You don't need to chase a ring the back of the bow lies just under the bark.

David, thanks, if your up for it I can always use some help. Devon will probably help as well, that's probably a good idea because I found out nor more wrestling with them than I did I'm pretty out of shape!  You could even pick one to take home if you want. Patrick

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Falcon, the key to chasing a ring in hickory is good light.......really good light.  Get the light crossing the back at the right angle and you can see the rings just fine.......while wearing my reading glasses, of course :-)
