Big brown truck should be calling at the Lotz residence today with yeller wood. Sure am looking forward to watching this piece of osage get worked on by such a team. I think this one has a bow hidden in it, but only time and tools will tell.

Shaun was right..waiting on the porch for me when I got off the road...bring brown box.

A quick look over tells me this is a heck of a piece of sage, won't know for sure until I get the bark and sapwood off. Should be easy to get into 1 ring too. Quick count on the rings shows 8 to the inch. Doesn't get any better than that IMO.

Thanks for the donation Shaun.Looking forward to carving on this piece.

Dry checks in other end of the stave (luckily these were only in the sapwood and not the heart wood)

 

working our way down the stave in a single growth ring

the dry check in the first photo goes into the heartwood...we are going to lose 3 - 3 1/2" off the end of this stave

 

luckily it's 67 " long so we are going to get mayybe 63" of good wood out of it...enough for a rigid handled bow.

Hey good to see you Doug. Hope you are feeling better.

Ok Bro Randy came over and confered with me on the stave. We can't tell how deep the dry check on the one end goes(it may only be thru one ring) but we decided to layout the bow on the entire stave as we can always shorten it later

I got to tell you the floppy "Bowyer's Rule" is one of the best things I have ever come up with. Makes layout SOOOO easy.

Here you can see the handle box laid out..handle 4" long. 1" wide with 1 1/2" long fades. Limbs are 1 1/2" wide at the fades
