"Not Wide" Red Oak Board Bow Not for BOM
superdav95:
Wow jawge that serving turned out nice for doing by hand! I made myself a jig of sort for my endless loops strings. I like the idea of weaving the tag end thru the Flemish twist string. I’ll have to try that next time.
George Tsoukalas:
Dave, thanks. That's the only way I have ever served.
I just gave it its first coat of poly. 2 more to go.

George Tsoukalas:
The polyurethane has been applied. Since the handle is so narrow (1") I glued on some carpet foam using Titebond 3, which also gives the handle some give.
I also glued on the arrow pass and 3 progressively smaller pieces of leather as a shelf. I used a not so watery Gorilla Glue (cryanoacelate).

George Tsoukalas:
The bow is done. I've enjoyed this journey. Making this bow has been fun.
Here is the handle. I favor a baseball stitch on a covering of leather. I used Titebond 3. I did a test run to make sure the leather would stick to the foam.

George Tsoukalas:
Here is the baseball stitch.
Thanks for looking.
