ok, 1 last thing,trying no to get ahead of myself, but i was trying to figure out what to do for a tip and i was wondering, what about turning a nock the shape of traditional horn nocks out of ebony, i have a good lathe and the tools for it and i think it wood look cool
i dont know allot about ebony, so any input would be welcomed as usual even suggestions of other types of wood i could use for this, maybe ipe?
thanks
noel

I've never worked with ebony so I don't know it's properties. I imagine it you have a good grain orientation it would work. For now, leave your tips a little wide and use temporarl side grooves for the string nocks.
Cam, if you don't know much about wood bow building it is hard to think 10 steps ahead without confusing yourself. For a beginner I think it is important to take one step at a time and when completed go to the next step and so on until the job is completed. Thinking about the finish for your "bow" before you have even cut the stave to shape is too big of a step and clouds the issues at hand.

pat i think you and cam both have valid points, on one hand, you don't want to get ahead of yourself, but you also want a plan for what you will do
thanks for the input
