Very nice bow. Good job, well done.

Brilliant. Thanks for that. I tried making a hazel bow but there was a weak spot and it snapped when I strung it. Trial and error....

I know this is late, but I was wondering what the diameter of the original sapling you used was? Great build by the way

The diameter was a little over 1 1/4 inches.

Did you wait for the wood to dry? Our did you make the bow right away?

The stave was dry. It usually takes only 3 weeks to dry a sapling.

My experience is crooked bows shoot just as good as straight ones, don't sell as good though, lol

I made one, but decrowned it. Followed the Bowers Bible instructions for decrowning.

A bit more detail might have been nice
