ERC Long Bow

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sasquatch:
in the next pictures I start by taking the fabric down to dimensions, using a file.  then i begin the long string tillering process.  I found the scraper to be a great tool to use.   I will skip some of the many pictures that i took during tillering.  the process is the same as always.  Take wood off where it need to come off.

Sasquatch:
in this series i show some pics of the trouble i was having with the tiller.  I was getting tripped out by the limb twist.  I should have slowed down and taken my time.  Its just that i was all amped up about my first build along.   I finished the tiller now its time for finish work.

Sasquatch:
Typical sanding job followed by some steel wool.  I also used a metal file to take the fabric fibers down a little more.

Sasquatch:
I stained the bow, painted the bow(acrylic), then I put a couple coats of poly.

Sasquatch:
Finally a little leather, stitching ( i did it twice because i messed up on first one), and some turkey feathers and done.
