NorthHeart:
Thanks for sharing your work Lee. Lovely bow!

On that last pic, did you draw the bow that far back after only 2 weeks of the last layer of sinew being put on?  Then you plan to wait another 3 months before stringing it up and drawing it back again?  Id like to understand your method better. ;)

Actually it was me eager to success. I could still feel the bow was not dry enough. Thus a 3 months seasoning is essential for drying and stability.

With a 2mm thickness of sinew curing time is reduced considerably compared to 5 to 6 mm thickness.
