Fire pit stave???
Pat B:
Can't say I have either. Could be a resin pocket or something similar. You never really know what is under a ring until you remove it and that would be ashamed to do with this bow considering the work you put into it. Can you tell if the bubble is hollow?
Selfbowman:
No I can’t push it down but I know it’s hollow.. drill a hole and fill it with glue??? It’s not affecting it right now. It’s about 3/8x1/2” oval.
bentstick54:
I’ve never seen it. What part of the limb is it on.?
Pat B:
I'd say at least drill a hole and put glue in it. might clamp it until the glue sets. I'd be curious to know what it is so if there is a failure an autopsy may be the thing.
Burnsie:
Circling back to the grain run-off discussion earlier in the thread - I got to thinking. Every bow is made to taper towards the tips, some to pretty thin delicate tips.
So, grain run-off always happens for a good portion of the limbs length depending on where you start your taper. No way to avoid it.
I guess we are only concerned with severe run-off where the grain takes a sharp turn off the edge of the bow?
