The previous bow from this wood (which had a big knot hole near the
grip) suffered the same fate, I wasn't sure if it was the wood, or the knot that caused the problem. The pic was taken from a video that I didn't publish done earlier in the build.
I have a pair of billets from this wood spliced up. I've sawn off the sapwood and will back it with bamboo, 'cos I can get suckered once, I can get suckered twice... but it won't happen the third time :-)
