Help with heat corrections on osage. /. Updated
Muskyman:
A wallpaper steamer is about $65 at the big box stores. Probably could find one used for half that.

Well got the twist out, string lined up, and limbs straight (flat). Limbs are not bending at all yet so I may use a scraper tomorrow and remove the dried oil surface on the belly and then let set a few days to rehydrate before starting any tillering. Once it starts bending a little, I’ll find out whether or not any other heat corrections will be needed.
Selfbowman:
Looking great!
Muskyman:
Looking nice. Great job getting it straightened out. Gotta love Osage.

Thanks guys. Arvin gave me confidence in heating same areas if needed multiple times. I used a card scraper and removed a very thin layer off the belly surface hopefully so it will rehydrate easier since I used oil on the belly and edges. Here it is sitting on the tillering tree, hopefully after it’s final adjustments before tillering.
