Building the Vine Maple Bow - Finished
Joec123able:
I'm excited to see the finished bow, awesome thread.
Aaron H:
Very cool Gordon, those needle files look really nice
E. Jensen:
Great walkthrough!
I'm curious about using the tensionwood as the back. Would a bow with the back made from opposite wood (the "compression" side) behave differently? This fascinates me because normally reactionwood is considered inferior wood, as well as juvenile wood. However both are used heavily in bow building, seemingly without negative consequences.
My other question is, do you have any problems using the sharpy on the wood? Does it soak in?
TolkienFan:
Gordon, this is great for a beginner like me. Can't thank you enough for this! I know it takes forever to post all these photos with such clear explanations and we all really appreciate it.
Blayne:
Very awesome!
