Out of season
«

Last June, I was in the area of CleElum and was doing some target shooting with some buddies of mine. I brought along a T/C Cherokee .45 cal. smoke pole. Another adventure while there was to stave hunt. Found a nice Vine Maple for a stave for a bow... while there... saw this ol' girl sneakin' around. I'd hit it !!!

Well... LOL... It got cut to rough shape (kinda snaky), and has been clamped to a form for almost a year now as it dries. It was (inspite of the snaky shape... which I like) a horizontally oriented stalk... so it has some NICE "natural" reflex that showed up immediately upon cutting, and scraping to a consistent growth ring. My buddy is the skilled bowyer, so I'm more or less on "standby" until he's in the mood to make bows so I can get busy. Me thinks it's gonna make for a nice 45# or so selfbow. I'm planning on backing it with some rattle snake skins I have for just a project. I'm glad I'm not in a hurry to build it.
This is the natural reflex the stave is showing before going into the form for curing.
This is how it's sat for close to a year now. The easy part is done... now that it's dry... it's gonna be a BEAR to work with... HARD as nails. But, I'm glad I got it to where I did while it was green/wet.
A guy in the neighborhood cut down a bunch of Black Locust... and I got a couple of decent pieces of that too. LOL So many projects... so little time to work on 'em.
