white ash build along (finally done( this time for real))
fishfinder401:
dont worry elktraker, i want getting ahead of my self, just curious, i found a bottle on my dads work bench that said its for dissolving shellac, and i read the article on the PA homepage and got curious. i think the string is a little off center, but i think i do need a little off center right, and need to fix the hinge. pat b was going to send my some horn for the tips, so im going to wait to finish tillering before those go on. i think the weight is still a little high, but its close to 120, right now its at 50@13in, and gaining around 4lbs per inch.
thanks for helping with the tillering, ill also try to get a little straighter of pictures, the camera was at a little of an angel, so that might have some effect

She's coming around nicely, Noel. Take it slow! ;) Be sure you exercise her limbs between wood removals. You won't truely know how the string tracks until you get her to low brace. That is the end of phase one and the beginning of phase two! :o
A shellac and linseed oil mixture, French polish, was a traditional wood bow finish. I don't know what a traditional war bow finish would be though.
