Sinew backed hickory

<< < (2/3) > >>

bluejack:
Thanks guys, I would like to end up around 45# after sinewing-will I gain quite a bit of poundage from the sinew-if so- I should probably tiller to around what before adding sinew(40# ??)

bradsmith2010:
Its pretty forgiving,, not bending it at all works, but tillering out some too works,,
maybe happy medium,, to brace,, see how that works for you,,

Will B:
Great advice provided above!  Look forward to seeing this bow when completed (-S

bluejack:
Don`t worry Will B.-I`ll be asking you for help when the time comes!!

gutpile:
sinew and hickory in the south is like oil and water.. they just don't mix however out west it can be a good combo. I always get my bow tilled to about 6 inch short of draw before sinewing.. lets the sinew work its magic more efficiently.. gut
