PMSL,
It's really 70yards away, but carefully arranged mirrors make it look closer

I took about 1/8"- 3/16" of each side of each limb tip tapering out to nothing off over about 2", and chamferred the belly edges at the tips, this isn't much but it's the portion I'd deliberately left thicker to give some meat for the nocks, I may well take more off after I've done some shooting with it up the club today.It's looking quick anyway.
How much did you take off the nocks in the end? Also, has it kept the weights you mentioned earlier? I've just noticed that it gained 5lb from 28" to 29". That seems a lot...
Guess I owe you a pint then!BTW, the bark is still in place and solid after several weeks shooting.

Sorry Del, must have missed that bit. I make a few walking sticks each year and we are lucky enough to get the red hazel quite close by. Not sure how easily I will find a thicker stave though. I'm off work today though so its on with the boots and off for a look seeptimist:Hi Gumbob,
Yes, I think it's Hazel ... I'm sure I owned up to this mistake earlier!
The colour is what confused me, most Hazel round here is a bore silvery colour, this has a definite coppery hue.
I should prb edit the title of the thread if possible.
