My horn bow build-a-long
DC:
Do you clamp the handle on your peg board so it won't move? Where do you locate the pegs? A picture would be nice :D
DC:
I just noticed that Adam suggests painting the back with a layer or two of glue when you've finished sinewing as an aid to finishing. Wouldn't that excess glue just crack?
bownarra:
Ok, I'll try and take a picture of my board today. I'm busy doing a complete re-wire on the whole house at the moment but I should be able to take 5 mins later.
No need to clamp the handle as the bow keeps itself there.
bownarra:
That glue layer fills any low spots but also serves as a 'sizing' for covering with leather. I personally only give it a cover with some 20% glue once.
DC:
Is there a best tool for feathering out/ smoothing the sinew? It has a tendency to fray.
