| That looks like it has much tighter rings than the ash I have used so I would imagine chasing a ring by any method will be tricky
but as you say, by the looks of it the exposed back on this stave is ready to go and so you can draw a line down the centre and start marking out :-)
may be worth asking Chris Boyton's advice first though on how best to use it as he will have experience with this wood, will also be able to advise on what dimensions will give the draw weight you want etc. ?
it would be great if you kept us informed of how you are going with it |
