    I have an almost perfectly straight fruit tree that started growing in my pines. It’s maybe 1.5-2 inch diameter at least halfway up and 12-15 ft tall, never branched. I cut it down while pruning them this year. We just bought the house and it’s probably been trying to grow out of the canopy for probably like 10 years now. I’m thinking of making a bow or something and put it to good use. It’s just too perfect to cut up and burn

      You can go very short with very high draw weights. Just look at crossbow prods. The trouble is getting both of those things and a full draw length. Most historical short bow designs didn’t use a full draw length with an anchor

      Also, I made it from a Hickory wood board. I checked the flow of the grain and it went all the way down with no stripes going onto the outside so it was from the center of the tree. There were no knots in it that I saw. It's a 1 by 2 inch board and 6ft tall. What do you think I should do for the next one?

      Breakage stops being such an issue after some experience, but there’s always the chance of an unexpected flaw in the wood. See my playlist of beginner essentials where I cover the key topics that will get you confident about this. Especially see the video how to break a bow 2. There you’ll find plenty of tips to keep it from happening. You don’t have to make it thicker. Follow my board bow tutorial and if you need a tiller check post one on r/bowyer and we’ll get you help specific to your bow
