Sinew Bowstring Technique

<< < (5/5)

BowEd:
I've never been a fan of trying to decieve anybody.Kind like trying to hide a lamination of clear FG in a natural materials bow ai'nt it?But do what you want.Your far too dedicated and accomplished of a craftsman to go that route.Guess I'm talking principles here.I can get on a soap box once in a while.Sorry.
There is a gray line though in the rules of judging BOM.Just so the operating parts of the bow are all natural I guess is the bottom line.

JackCrafty:
Yeah, it's also like soaking the tip of an antler pressure flaker in super glue, using an acrylic binder for natural pigments, adding a drying agent (japan drier) to boiled linseed oil, flake-over-grind (FOG) arrowheads, and lots of other things.

I have to admit that I've given in to the temptation many times...   >:D


But probably not this time.  Just a thought.  :)

BowEd:
Yes I heard one fella say to me as soon as your drive your truck to the edge of the woods and start your chainsaw up you are not primitive no more......LOL.I don't agree with it that far really though.

JackCrafty:
