ERC Long Bow
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.
