Bending BL

<< < (3/4) > >>

snedeker:
I have a BL in progress on which I steamed the tips into a moderate recurve.  They went over nicely in 50 minutes.  This is from a log that has proved sturdy.

If I can get it done.

Last week I ruined a maple backed hacberry - ever notice how often trouple arises when the thought,
"Geez she's goin' down slow, I think I'll switch to the belt sander with 24-grit"    pops into your head?

any problem yet,This was my first BL and had heard they were bad about that so I went real slow and very careful on the tiller and so far so good,I have shot it maybe 100 now and it seems to be doing fine. :)
