Working on this ERC bow

<< < (2/2)

kerbinator:
With out a dought I am going to back it. Mullet I had some raw hide but not enough of it. But I do have this very nice peice of bamboo, and thats what I decided to use. I have used canvas before but just wasnt to thrilled with it. I have TB3 and bow grip100 for the boo what would yall use?

mullet:
I'd use the bow grip if I had it.I have a bamboo backed ERC that B Melton gave me a few years ago.It was made from billets and all of it including the boo back was glued up with epoxy.It's still a fine shooter.I gave it to my son in Law and he really enjoys it.My experience with TB3 is it dries  faster than TB2 and doesn't like tight vices.I still use it a lot though.

kerbinator:
Bow grip it is then. Ive decrowned and prepared for glueup. Ime going to use a rubber inertube to bind them together. Thanks mullet I pray this works. Kerbinator

kerbinator,

I made a hickory backed cedar bow a few years ago.  I think you'll be happy with the bamboo as a backing, just try to get it pretty thin before you use it.  If I remember right I used TiteBond II on my bow.  Cedar is very nice to work with, and due to it's light mass made for a very good shooter.  Have fun.

kerbinator:
I recently backed it with bamboo. It needed more help so I also put on a Ash belly. Looking pretty good I should have some full draw pictures soon.   Kerbinator
