So I have a tamarind that I’m flattening the back on. I was planning to bamboo back it but my boo spalted (at best), turned pink and powdery. So, this bow has some violated knots (a lot of.not very severes on one side and a big one on the other side). I finished floor tillering 1 limb and it didn’t make any sounds (this is the side with the big one). I’m not brave or dumb enough to push it further. Think 2-3 layers of sinew will hold it together? The heavily interlocking might be helping me right now.
Short version:
Violated knots, 50 inches long (bendy handle, only need a 21 inch draw but would like more if possible), interlocking grain, 2-3 layers of sinew = not explosion?
