Arizona Ash Stave

[Recurve Amigo]

I just split a log may get 4 six foot staves from this log, it still has the bark I couldn't finish splitting the halves it started raining. But need help turning this fresh cut wood into a bow.

2-1/4 to 2-1/2" wide at the fades
MUST be dry,dry,dry,dry
Rough it down to bow size and keep it inside your house for 6 month's, at least
weight it regular and keep a log
Heat treat like Marc St. Louis style
ASAP seal it with shellac and every time you scrape it to tiller ,seal it again after!

Look at
Ash snake bow (MoJam) on the bowyer's bench page 1
