So....... I took the leap, and it turned out pretty good I think. It's 72" long and 47 pounds at my 28 inch draw. It's made from a plain old 1 x 2 x 6 foot red oak board. I glued on a handle and made a shelf. No backing.
All that is is a pc of formica with the lines drawn by using a yardstick and a sharpie marker. Everytime you remove wood in any amount put it back in the tree and flex.
I just realized that it was you I PM'd with about some hickory staves a couple years ago. 2 years and I still haven't finished one. I have to get moving
