Was that a straight grained stave that you cut out snakey?

Hickory is super mean wood to take that for even one full draw.

This boy ain't right in the head!  Amazing skill to pull that off with the grain violations!  Congrats!

that's cool, i still think i'd wear a helmet :o ;)

I've thought about taking a heat gun to an osage stave and making it snakey like that.
