I've also been working a piece of black walnut for a wooden bow. Got a piece of cedar, but I hear it's too soft.

your gonna have to wrap some bands around the head to prevent it splitting as it dries

>>32834203
I've got a few dead oaks in my parent's yard I just had an idea for thanks OP. Also cover your outlets in an area with water.

>>32834219
Wax or paint would be better.

>>32834203
i would strip the bark off of it.

>>32834259
Sink doesn't work, lol

>>32834203

>>32834219
>>32834266
So cover the ends, even if I strip it?

Done

Just like, buy a sledge hammer from bunnings (Dont know what the american counter part is) or something dude

>>32834269
At least you have a plethora of clean clothes.

>>32834275
>So cover the ends, even if I strip it?
yes cover the ends, wood drys from the ends. Stripping the bark off has no effect on how fast it dries. I would also suggest once it dries to rub it with linseed oil once a week for a month, then once a month for a year and then once a year for a few years.

What kind of tree? It's possible that thing is just gonna break the moment you hit something with it

>>32834298
Right?
Nowhere to put em though

>>32834314
Maybe, I whomped a few big rocks with it, football sized sandstone.

>>32834320

>>32834393
lol I say it because my Spanish teacher in high school told me people from Tennessee speak English worse than Mexicans. Appalacians call it a Chester drawers. Mexicans call it a vestidor.

I'm from Central Appalachia, people here are so dumb. A lot of them, anyway. Really, the coolest people I know either moved here from elsewhere, or moved elsewhere.

>>32834203
You live like shit. Holy shit clean up that garbage

>>32834212
Aged cedar makes great arrow shafts. Exactly blades or modified utility blades make good points. 1/4" or 3/8" hex nuts are good for adding weight to arrow tip if bow is powerful enough to push them. I used to hunt squirrels with nut tipped arrows. Called them "nutters".

>>32834873
What's garbage, bruh

>>32835258
>Nutters
I lol'd
I'll be doing that

My PVC bow lifts a cinderblock at 36 inches or so. I think that makes it around a 40lb draw. Planning on putting a fiberglass core in it, but for now it's hollow.

Cool, so you brought a log inside.
I doubt it's sturdy enough on its own.

Nice dubs
And you'd be surprised
I whomped a few rocks out of the air and they just exploded. Threw shrapnel all over the hillside.

The branch held my weight before I cut it out.

>>32834302
Boiled linseed oil, not the raw stuff. And cut it 50/50 with turpentine. The real stuff, not that turp substitute crap.

Perl the bark now, while it's still wet. It comes off easier. Use a butterknife to slip it off without marring the wood underneath.

Don't use sandpaper for smoothing. Tidy up rough spots with a sharp, flexible knife.

>>32835729
Thanks for the insight, I'll skin it today. Probably seal the ends, too.

I'll put up a pic if the thread is still here.
This board seems to move slow enough for it to actually be useful.

>>32834203
Clean you goddamn house dude

>>32834203
So...

...you're literally carrying around a stick.

My dog does that a lot.

>Tennessee speak English worse than Mexicans
yeah, thats a common thing. We teach immigrants proper english. While native english is skewed with deep rooted accents and vernacular.

Same thing for pretty much all languages.

>>32834393

>pvc bow
Enjoy your shrapnel
