LOL, the year was off. For some reason it loaded the year 2008. I didn't know that till after I saved the pic to my puter. I'm holding a original 54" Shrew in that pic.
the 1x6 can be cut down to width & thicknes, or just a little over what you want to bow to be. This will help whan you start to rasp & sand the bow down to finished size. The red oak bow I made came from a 2x2x75. I got it from a friend that does wood work on homes. It was to be a pole for a stair case and he had that piece left over.
If your 1x6 is 1" wide by 6" thick You can cut it down to 1x2 if you want a handle. If it is 1" thick by 6" wide you will have enuff to make 2 bows if not 3. the key is to work slowly and You need a scale & tillering board/tree. I was working on a ash bow today and broke it right in the middle of the upper limb. now thinking on it I think I worked a little to fast. That or it was still a little too green.
