good to know this, i havent gotten around to chasing one ring. i will post pictures when i have it all shaped.

paulsemp:
no need to chase a ring, take off the bark and there is your ring

ionicmuffin:
thats the problem. i had previously severly violated the rings, so i think that i either have to chase one, or add a backing. the later may be my best option considering that the handle section may get really thin if i try to chase a ring.

No, but heat used by a bowyer and the effects we know heat has on a bow is evidence for me. I would prefer more. We use what we can get and it's more than we have for ff strings.

adb:
Well... then in fact, you can't say with certainty that medieval or Tudor bowyers heat treated the bows.
