My horn bow build-a-long
DC:
Yeah, they use strange methods to arrive at final tiller so because of that I'm not sure how this would be solved. They use heat to adjust the kasan(the stiffer outer limb) but they use scraping, not heat, to adjust the working limb. Hope I've got that right.
DC:
I didn't get the sinew nicely wrapped around the edge of the bow. How soon can I add more? Right away or do I have to wait until it's somewhat dry?
DC:
It was getting worse as the sinew dried, I guess. So I modified the rack I sinewed it on to hold it a bit better. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but I feel i have to do something. I might fiddle with it a bit more.
sleek:
It sucks, but it's not too late to pull the sinew off and redo it. The time it takes to build it right is small in comparison to the time you will enjoy a week crafted bow, even smaller compared to how long you will wish you had just redone it.
sleek:
You could wrap it in clear plas9to stop the drying process until you figure what to do.
