Haha.... yeah, careful, ypu can change the tiller like that.
PatM:
Definitely the ripples in the back are dangerous. That's really not much different from cutting through the grain.

Id take the repair wrap off to do all my finish sanding, otherwise you may develop a step at the wrap and cause a stress riser to form there.
Get her dolled up, and id bet ole patches may become your favorite bow for awhile.
DC:
I was going to do that because I had some difficulty with the wraps. I wound them on with great care so that each thread was laying right beside its neighbour. They were nice and smooth. When I put the CA on(as little as I could) the threads seemed to jump up. In the picture the sanding dust accents it. They were laying right side by each until the glue hit. Maybe I should use wood glue or something that I could wipe down?? Don't know why the wood is so much darker on one side of the wrap. It isn't in real life.
sleek:
Honestly, id give hide glue a try as it shrinks while it dries, it would pull any gaps closer, as well as permeate the string and crack. Then your finish over the glue will waterproof it.
