Tri-lam tiller check (Boo Backing Problems...)

(1/3) > >>

Dag:
Hey folks,

Just lookin' for some pointers on how to proceed with this bow.  In the video it is at a low brace height of about 4".

Boo/Ipe/Hickory 76" long.  Hoping to end up anywhere over #90@32"

Thanks for checking it out!

Cameroo:
I can't see a thing wrong with that, looks like it's coming around perfectly.  I've got a similar bow ready to be tillered, just have a few other projects to finish up first.  Looking forward to seeing this one completed!

Dag:
Thanks for the feedback Cameroo!  Much appreciated.  Good luck on yours!  I have many distracting projects as well, haha.

Dag:
Well shoot.  A bit of the bamboo backing has cracked and lifted just below the center of the bow.

  How should I handle this guys?  I really would hate to scrap this piece of work because of this.  Is it as simple as supergluing back down and applying pressure?

WillS:
Glue! It's in the middle, and it's longitudinal.  You don't need to worry, just flood it in superglue and press it down, and carry on as if it never happened!
