Hazelnut bow build-a-long (fixed pictures)

Ryano:
lookin good Gordon  ;)

Gordon:
To get the bow bending I use my Nickolsen #49 rasp to hog wood off and then remove the tooth marks with my scraper. Between wood removal sessions I check for thickness by running my fingers along the bow.







Okay, she is starting to bend pretty good now. I know it doesn’t look like it but there is quite a bit of reflex in the bow at this point. It’s ready for the long string.

sonny:
