Holmegaard build along

If you haven't noticed, I use a layer of wax paper on my work bench. Makes clean up easier. Next step, of course, is applying glue to the osage board. Then, I lay the two boards together. You don't have to rush, but you do need to work with purpose, as most wood glues have an open time of about 20 minutes.

Sorry, that's it for now. My wife has purchased tickets to an all you can eat Ukranian food dinner. Cabbage rolls, perogies, beer... I gotta go. Besides, I'm getting the look... she doesn't want to be late! I'll post more later tonight!

sandals on your feet, an apron :o, no wood shavings on the floor or work table, everything in its place...and you call yourself a primitive bowyer. Sheesh!!! :D ;D ;)
I'm looking forward to your build-a-long. Hickory backed osage is a great combo and the Holmsgaard design should put it over the top. 8) Pat

OK, back from dinner and a movie. Where were we? Oh, yah... glue up. Now that I've applied glue to both surfaces, and matched them on the form, I start with the center clamp.

From here on, the remainder of the glue-up is done with rubber inner tubes. I previously used clamps, but I found my glue lines were inconsistent. I start wrapping from the center, working my way out to the tips. I apply good firm pressure, stretching the rubber as much as I can.
