david w.:
what are the backing that people use for backing warbows?  if i make one i would like to make an acurate reproduction

Marc St Louis:
Traditionally none

david w.:
o that might be hard for me to pull off i have osage boards. i know they used yew but osage is what i have now and i cant complain with that ;D
the boards are very straight grained the straightest i have ever seen on anything. i might be able to leave it unbacked

Pat B:
David, Use rawhide.      Pat

david w.:
ok if i make on i will use that. i have enough osage for 7-10 bows and i will last me a long time and i want to try new things
