Well, this is my second attempt ad building a bow from a self-harvested material, the first was an all boo bow. Here's how the story went: My buddy and I went down to a local strip mall in the late of night, and cut a couple of boo stalks. On the way home we tried To pick up some chicks, it didn't go too well, the phrase "Hey baby, I've got the world's largest grass in the back of my truck" didn't work so well... just kidding. I digress.
After trimming the maple tree in my back yard I was cutting up the branches when I found this perfect eight-foot piece of sugar maple, so I stashed it in my basement. I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me the steps to take to begin drying the limb out, do I rough it out first, or do I dry the limb? Thanks in advance for the help.
