Holmegaard build along

I use TB3 on my backed bows, and I use clamps, and works fine, but it's time consuming and takes a lot of clamps. I clamp every 2 inches so I have 36 clamps at times. I didn't think that TB3 would harden without oxygen, and with rubber bands I don't think it would get air in order to dry. But if it will dry ok with rubber bands, then I'll switch. BTW I live in eastern Ontario, Canada, and gets pretty cold here too. Thanks for doing the build a long.

I live in Eastern Ontario too! This tutorial also got me thinking about using inner tubes... Going to make a boo backed osage holmie now!

Wow see what happens when you wander off the bows section ;D I have been wanting to try one of these for a while was not shure on how to lay it out....thanks a million, and what an awsome looking bow ;)

I knew I shouldn't have started reading this thread. I knew it! I knew it! Now I have to explain to the boss that another bow is needed. How else can I be expected to survive the coming ice age? Just imagine that creepy scientists clone the woolly mammoth and release this mega fauna back into the wild...then the ice age hits...then I walk outside with a Holmegaard bow that I made.
Awesome job.
