Forget about it Mike . . .I was told it wasn't a good thing to shoot blanks.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

bucont wrote:The trick here is the wood needs to be well dried before you start. Therefore a lumberyard wood will not cut it. It must be rough cut and then it must sit to dry further otherwise you will get warpage on the finished cut and that is not good at all.

I'll make an attempt on my bow and see how it goes. This will take months not weeks so please hold on. I'll keep posting to let every one know the progress.
would it work if it was kiln dried ?
