Faux bow trade 2022
Allyn T:
I want to make a drying box for that and to keep moisture down on the summer.
Black Moshannon:
I get that, I had one with light bulbs. The thing is im going completely non-electric as that is the point of bow building for me anyways, so I put mine down by the fireplace and later will do a mild to medium heat treat over coals. Here's the dry hickory, 61" long. I started crowing the back and reduced width some this morning.
aznboi3644:
Good work guys. I wish I could join but something is wrong with my lower back and I can’t do much. If I can get it figured out I’ll try and join in. I have a maple stave itching to make some shavings
WhistlingBadger:
Cool idea, guys. I'm carving up a lot of juniper but getting lots of lateral knots and not at all sure if any of it will make a bow.
Anz, I hope your back heals up! Stinks to be down with an injury.
BetterTrees:
It does stink to be injured. Hope you're better soon, Aznboi.
I got around to working this stave down today... I'm leaving sapwood over back of the handle. The earlywood under the last two rings of sapwood is an amazing green/yellow/brown swirl that I have to manage to show off when this thing is done.
I've never tried it, but I figure if I give it a heavy coat of poly covering the back, sides, and exposed end grain of the sapwood it should hold together.
