Hazelnut bow build-a-long (fixed pictures)
Gordon:
I begin the lacing like I am tying a shoe. I thread the lace underneath and through the top two holes leaving the ends the same length.
Next make a cross stitch by threading each end through the holes on the opposite sides.
Then thread each end through the next hole on the same side.
Now make another cross-stitch and repeat for the length of the handle.
Gordon:
I cut the leftover tags back, tuck them under the leather handle and secure the works with a couple of drops of superglue.
I like to treat my finished handles with a leather lacquer finish. It helps the leather resist dirt and oil and the handle will look much better after hard use.
Gordon:
For the arrow rest I’ll use a piece of stick-on leather. I use a plate to help me make a nicely shaped rest.
Gordon:
The bow is finally done! Here are a few pictures of the completed bow.
Gordon:
I'll post more pictures including a a full-draw on the main forum in a day or two. Right now it's storming in the Pacific NW and I can't get decent light.
