drying bows
jamie:
like patrick said. i use the wigwams to dry wood. put up in the horizontals and let the heat and smoke get to it. i think smoke does an incredible job of sealing wood too.
JackCrafty:
I need to build me one of them wigwams. ;D
crooketarrow:
Hang them from the seling the heats much more constent up there you won't heat one part of the bow more than others. Also a good way to cut down the moisture. Exspecally on white wood bows.
Pat B:
I'm working on a locust semi-Eastern Woodland style bow(my version) and I plan to finish it with hand rubbed bear grease and use my wood stove, much like Grunt, to help the beare grease sink in.
Cacatch:
Grunt, does that BL sappling bow have a back of sapwood? It looks similar to one I made a while back. Mine didn't last, but I think it was my fault for going too narrow with it.
