evening all, a couple of weeks ago I managed to get a 2m length of hardwood to make a pyramid bow. I managed to work out how to join the 2 halves and cut them out ready to glue up with cascamite. a week later the glue hasnt arrived, I remembered a elb laminated stave I bought about 4 years ago ( cant remember where from) found it and decided to try that. 2 hours later its marked and roughed out to the dimensions that came with it ( a copy from a 1941 popular mechanics ) set to tillering it, this thing would barely move! after a bit of an attack with a spoke shave it now pulls 25# at 6", the paper said it would be 40 to 50 at 28". is it possible that the stave has somehow dried and stiffend? I am not sure where to take the shaving from the side or belly as it looks pretty much right in bend
