240's sheep horn bow build with Tom Lucas
Oglala Bowyer:
No judgement here Chuck. I was just curious about the sinew application because I’ve seen others use the “all at once method” and the “one by one method” and wanted to know what the difference is.
Aaron H:
Excellent build. Thanks for taking is along.
BowEd:
+1 about this thread.It's fun to read because it's presented well.The question about the deflex position for a period of time.Horn is more elastic than wood and sinew can move it easier.
loefflerchuck:
I hear you Oglala. All at once has only worked up to 3 layers for me. More I have issues with but it sounds like the total backing is only going to be 3 on this bow. The comment was not aimed at you. More at me seeing things done another way than how I do it. I'm personally taking notes here to add to my bag of tricks.
Oglala Bowyer:
I'm thinking of using a combination of both for my horn bow project. Slight deflex followed by the one by one approach. That way I feel I can work at a safer pace for myself. I'm thinking of using 5-6 layers of sinew.
