drying bows

(1/4) > >>

Grunt:
 This is my wood stove drying rack for bows. Got a new computer I trying to see if I got the image ok to post. Bear with me.

JW_Halverson:
Guess that's better than tossing them in the dryer with some old tennis balls to fluff 'em up.   I'd be sure to wait until the staves were mostly dry before putting much heat to them for fear of causing cracks.

beetlebailey1977:
Yeah if they are wet (fresh cut) they will crack or split.  Be carefull.

sailordad:
looks to me like they would dry unevenly like that

Grunt:
They are pretty dry as they have been inside for a couple of months and I flipped the tips on the yellow one with dry heat.
