Winter project - Yew Recurve bow
Ghost Dog:
So nice to see your great shop and tools. It really makes me appreciate the process and steps that go into one of your bows. Cheers!
sleek:
This is wonderful and will soon do the same with another species of wood. I like your techniques. Question though, with your pot O boiling water. I have boiled staves a few times and noted the color of the water darken and wood around where it was in the pot darken. Certainly these are tannins leaving the wood, and aside from tanning skins, ever wonder about using them as a natural wood stain? If you can boil them down enough that is of course...
