Here is plan A for my end of the trade.  I'm not sure if it will work out or not.  I got the bark and sapwood removed today.  Tomorrow I'll chase a ring and see what it looks like.  I might have to go to another stave.  There has been some nice work posted so far.  Looks like there are going to be a lot of happy traders.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Oh, Clint has some straight staves....or had some.  I have evidence!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

This is getting good! 

Here are the bows in the works at the moment.  I will see how each turns out and see what fits the recipients specs best. 

Ocean spray, yew, rawhide backed osage, and sinew backed yew. 



That bottom yew bow strikes my fancy ;)

Plan A was a little narrow for what I wanted so I moved on to another stave.  This one was cut in 09 and is a little straighter.  I got the bark and sapwood off of it today and took it down to a single ring for most of the length.  I want to go about 3 rings deeper to get to a thicker one.  If this stave doesn't work out, I'll get one from the straight pile.

Bryce, you never now  ;)

Nice teaser pic you posted by the way.  I would be happy to receive any one of those bows. 

madcrow, that is quite the christmas cutlery collection...beautiful knifes!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
