hi everyone
![Grin ;D](http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
i got this really nice hick stave from one of the nice folks on here,thanks again.
i really like the texture of the back of hick self bows and i do like the looks of the cambium on it also.
however this stave has some really thick spots that fill in the mice little gullies on the back.
i spent about an hour and half on it tonight trying to reduce the amount of cambium. i have been using a pocket knife so that i could get into the gullies some what.
this is goinf to take a month of sundays doing like this.
so my question to all of you are " is there an easier way to remove the cambium"
thanks for the input and here are a couple of pics
