What Did You Do Today?
Dvshunter:
Got a bit done yesterday.
Split an elm log and pulled the bark of five staves.
Tillered a bit more on an Osage.
Had the horn in a tip delaminate. Not the glue lines but the horn itself let go. Very frustraiting.
Heated another bow and then got the shop as clean as its been in a long time. Then I shot my bow.
Keenan:
Nice looking stave on the bench David.
Got the handle wrap done on the lumpy yew bow. Going to get some full draw pics today and get her in the mail tomarrow. Guess it's time to quit playing with her and let her find her way to her new home ;D
Roy:
Ya need my address, Keenan?:)
Pat B:
Dvs, what kind of glue did you use for the antler tip overlays? When I use super glue I size the antler first and let that glue dry before glueing tit to the bow tip. The pithy portions of the antler can soak up glue and starve the joint. Also, I have set a small wood dowel(blind) in the bow and into the overlay to help hold the overlay in place along with the glue.
Beadman, If your staves won't split straight it probably grew in a spoial and sawing it out will cause runoffs in your stave. You might be better splitting it out and correcting the twist with heat.
Dvshunter:
I used superglue pat. Like I said though it wasn't a glue failure. If you look at the pic close you can see there is horn on both the antler and bow. It was a small strip about 3/16th thick that delaminated. I am going to.just try and reglue it. Hopefully it won't happen again.
