2024 Bow Trade - build in progress
Selfbowman:
Will if you glue on another overlay shape the handle which I don’t like to do but wrap the handle prior to tiller with wire or sinew it will probably hold . Then put a leather wrap on it. Here is a pic of my hunting bow. It has a bow bolt in it . It broke out and I epoxied electric fence wire around the two handle sections. Pic proves it works.
Will B:
Thanks Arvin. I have a lot of sinew and will give that a try

got this yew bow worked down a bit more today and ready for some sinew. got the bend looking pretty good to about 20" on short long string on the tree. I did an initial floor tiller to get to this point but felt like i needed a better vantage point on this one. lots of character not to mention all the plugged knot holes. by feel its a bit stout yet but ready for some sinew. if it survives that will be a good bow. if it explodes on me I have a good back up of similar dimensions maybe little narrower. will do sinew on this back up as well. Heres some pics of it at low brace thereabouts. The plugs seem to be holding up and staying put so far. thanks for looking.
superdav95:
a few more pics of the bow showing tip alignment and the back up bow next to it.
Selfbowman:
I like your reflex. Looking good!
