ERC Long Bow
Sasquatch:
I used superglue in the glue up. I have had great results with it and it only took 15 min to do the tip overlays. Ive used epoxy before but it takes to long.
Sasquatch:
In the process of letting the glue dry, I sanded the back to get it ready for a backing.
Sasquatch:
In this next series I show my process for shaping the overlays.
Sasquatch:
Finally the backing ;D In all the debate about ERC, there seems to be some who think is sucks all together, some who think that you need a backing(me included), and some that think it does'nt need a backing. What ever you feel ERC is proven to be "Good Bow Wood", at least to many people it is. The only way you will ever know is if you build one.
Sasquatch:
In the last series of pics i used linen fabric, and braced the bow in reflex for glue up. I also wet the fabric before gluing. Its not as sticky that way. I didnt wrap it with anything cause the blue is seaping out of threads. I would have just glued the wrapping to the bow. In the mean time I cleaned up the shop a little.
