American bison, horn bow w/sinew(pic update)
FlintWalker:
Tim, you sure that ain't some kinda mold like stuff growing under or within the glue? Every bow I've sinewed done that. ???
Timo:
Perty sure it's not Shannon, As soon as the sinew started turning clear they showed up. I had a fan on it most of the day, so it started drying perty quick.I really noticed it when I was cleaning the bowl as the black suet started flaking off.I guess the hide glue loosened it.
I ain't gonna worry about it now. ;)
Timo:
Layed another layer of sinew on the horn bow tonight.mainly just to fill in the low spots.had company come out of the wood work and there I was hide glue dripping off my elbows......Lots of locals now know a few things about sinew! ;D
Wished this stuff dried fasters....i'm getting stoked to fire this lil bow up! ;)

Timo, awesome build-a-long. I'm learning so much and not all of it is about horn bows. Can't wait to see that little screamer finished.

Timo, this is just too cool a ride, thanks for doing it. I would never have thought about cutting the horn out in a spiral like that, all of them I've seen done in books were cut out longways, limiting you to a short li' bow. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip, you've got me hankering to try one of these now.
