Working Bamboo

<< < (2/3) > >>

huntersteve:
when putting tip overlay's on a bamboo backed bow...do you glue directly to the bamboo....cut the bamboo down flat then glue..or do you have to remove the bamboo down to your wood and glue to it???....I've built several BB bows already but haven't used tip overlays before on these....Steve

Justin Snyder:
Sand the section where the tip overlay sits on the boo flat. It usually tapers back into the wood because you want a solid connection but you want it to feather into the boo as you transition into the bow limb.

huntersteve:
Thanks for the help..I'm getting ready to start a bamboo backed hickory...may give it a try...Steve

THoward:
Does anyone have any example pics of the nocks with overlays and without?  I love this forum.  What a way to tap into brains.
