I’m starting with the HL stave but don’t be surprised if my pard ends up with Osage. I like to start with a challenge and if doesn’t meet the standard, I’ll go to my familiar place. Seems more fun to challenge oneself.  Hope it works out. This stave is pretty cool and it’s from my deer stand so I think that might bring its new owner some mojo.

I'm in. 
I have no idea what I'm going to build.  I'll wait and see what victim I get.  It may be a couple months before I can really get after this but I'll have no problem if I have till October.   

Draw weight: 50 - 500  ;) ;)  ( unless you want to build a war bow, realistically 50-70 lbs)
Draw length: 28"
RH, split finger shooter

I have a question about the variable draws that some have posted.  Is it that you draw different bows differently or that have different styles of shooting?  And also if you can specify your style of shooting that would help. 
Not sure everyone does it this way, but I tiller my bows differently for split shooting vs 3 under.  And the bow I build for a 26" draw won't be the same bow that I build for a 28" draw. 

This should be fun.   :)

Glad you are in Ben.  Don't forget to send me a pm with your information.

As for the variable draw lengths, typically the person's normal draw length would fall right in the middle.  Say some days 26 to 28 inch draw length.  Their normal draw length would be 27 inches.

Once to get your victim, I can help you get more specific information regarding split finger, 3 under or specific draw length.  You will just need to pm me and I will get the info you need.

Also, you are right, this should be fun!

From left to right are: red elm, black locust, black locust, black locust and iron wood.  The iron wood is roughed out as a Molle with recurves.

I’m loving the look of the far left with all those knots, same with the molle on the right. I’m a fan of the character they have going on.
