Oh yeah I would have burned a stave like that, beyond my skill and patience level. Matter of fact I just cleaned my shop a few days ago
and stocked the woodshed with firewood from staves that frightened me, took the chainsaw to them so I wouldn't do anything foolish like try to make bows of em'. ;).  Guess I should have sent them to you. :)
Good job coaxing a bow out of that one, like its funky character and smooth tiller.

Thanks paul...no potential btu's in this one

Thanks Shaun..I couldn't agree more about the grain

Thanks dictionary...I saw the bow you see now before I started it;)..and when I do hemp wrap handles I just tack it down with superglue to start,then wrap around n round till I get to where the arrow rest wood go,then do multiple wraps there to build up a bulge for hand placement and it serves as an arrow rest too.

Thanks to ionicmuffin,pinenut,Clint,bubby, trapper rob,pearly, beetlebailey, starfire,dwarfish,del for the kind feedback :)

Thanks Steve...shoot me an offer

Thanks Greg...too bad ya just copped up all your "primo " wood..lol. you might be looking back regretting it someday when you get sick of boring straight clean wood ;)

Great job on the tiller, especially considering the knot and all the whoopty doos on those limbs.

Nice.
I have a great fondness for character bows. No need to have things all straight and lined up.

Symmetry is overrated!

  You nailed the tiller on that squirrely piece of wood.  Very simple and beautiful.  I love that basic native style.  I just sent my cousin in Pennsylvania an osage bow, I wonder If they are getting pelted with rain too. You do nice work brother.
