Snaky Osage
superdav95:
Ya the string alignment might be pretty good then. Just work on getting it flatter then and will be a little more predictable as far as tillering it. I just use rags on the ends of my pipe after sticking the end of the bow in there. With clamps and side clapping you should be able to get it to hold where you want. As far as my snaky elm I知 working on it as we speak. I just had to finish up the boo backed and bellied bow first and get it posted.
Cheers.

Can稚 wait to see it Dave. Thanks Pat. To be honest I知 a little bit intimidated by it but, hey I値l keep going until I either get it done or it turns into firewood.
Pat B:
If you allow it this stave can teach you a lot about building wood bows and learning the characteristics of wood. Just take it slow and steady and put it aside if you get frustrated or agitated with it.

Today I didn稚 have much time to work on this bow but, got a hour or 2. Got it bending some and have it to where I知 used a card scraper. It has a crack in the handle and I noticed it goes out into both fades. I知 going to put CA glue in the crack. Probably, if I get it that far, I plan on putting a jute handle on it with the epox n denatured alcohol to thin it.. I forgot what that痴 called. I知 hoping that it値l be okay.
Muskyman:
Couple pictures. Also cut some knocks into it today
