I thought I heard a crack (bow finished)
One of the bows I have been working on is a pretty rough stave. Several knots, bumps and waves. I tillered it 40@28. It’s 66” long. Got tiller nice well pretty nice as I left a couple spots a tad stiff due to knots and other issues. I then flipped both tips. Let it set a day and pressed down to floor tiller looking at the tips. I thought I heard a crack. Well I let it sit for 2 days to rehydrate if that’s what it needed. Went out today and pulled it to 32” several times without hearing any cracks. It didn’t break! It was 54@32 I think she will be fine. Gonna finish up and get some Pics eventually. May have to slightly retiller.
