SLO-MO multiple bows build along
Jbell:
Dang that sure is some pretty wood, especially that first pic showing the reflex. Have you figured out which glue you are going to use for sinewing? if you are using Knox or hide glue you are gonna have a ton of reflex in those staves. I hope your belly can handle it. ??? Good luck and lookin real good.
NOMADIC PIRATE:
I'll try sinewing them tonite after I drop my daughter of to mom.
I'll unveil the glue too ;)
Marc St Louis:
Should be interesting. I've never tried sinewing bows with a lot of character and would tend to avoid it myself as the sinew may pull the bow into an odd shape as it dries.
tradrick:
This is a excellant build along.It lets a rookie like myself learn alot and have visuale aids for some of the things I don't understand.tradrick
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Hey Marc, that's an other reason why I decided to use TB III, ...I know the purists now will shake they heads ;D ;D
But after much consideration I feel that I can trade a bit of performance for peace of mind. that's why I got the profile at 3" reflex, I'll be happy with 1" or even after the bows are shot in !
one quote the made me really think was "It would be like incasing springs with cement"......well you see here we have a huge problem with rust "never buy a new car on the North Shore ;D"everything just rusts away really fast, ,..so I thought, the spring might not be as effective, but at least it will be there ;D ;D...what good will a super spring do me if it is all rustsed in no time?? :D :D
