My horn bow build-a-long
DC:
Waiting for the laths to dry. This part sucks. :D
bownarra:
Yup.....:)
DC:
OK back to it. That's long enough. Lathes on the form. Lathes off the form. Sanding the lumps off the workbench so it's nice and true and marking the centreline on the lathes. I had to spend some time getting them nice even width and straight so they didn't rock back and forth on the workbench. I need a straight centreline so I can saw the "V" accurately.
DC:
The handle section is Ocean Spray. It was nice having the lathes way to long so I could use both handle section points on the centerline. Trial fit and an idea of what it may look like. Not glued yet. I can't get used to the short working length of the limb. Right around 8". Crazy.
DC:
And here it is glued. 5 or 6 sizing coats of 10% and glued with 30%. Boy, I'm having trouble trusting this hide glue. I've glued a few things and they've stayed together but it's sure tempting to use epoxy :D
