Building the Vine Maple Bow - Finished
dantolin:
Loving it!!! Thanks for sharing, Gordon.
Strongbow:
Gordon one of the first threads I stumbled across on PA was one of your build-a-longs. I learned so much from that thread and it helped inspire me to take up the hobby. Glad to see you are doing another one and I am learning new things on this one as well. I loved how you demonstrated your setup for bending the handle for tip alinement. I never really had a clear idea of the technique, or thought of using chalk lines as visual guides. Can't wait to see what else is in store!
RBLusthaus:
Love the tip on using a straight edge and marks made to align the stave handle and tips when bending the handle. In past, I usually guessed how far to go. Very ingenious. Seems obvious once shown how. Thanks for sharing your know how.

aaron:
awesome build, thanks. I use many of these same techniques with VM layout and building. How long did you steam that handle-? I have had little success with that- they either spring back or break.
Blacktail:
