Question about Osage and bamboo?? And bow build

<< < (14/14)

Selfbowman:
Looks like the boo failed.

bjrogg:
Arvin. Am I understanding correctly?

The boo failed on belly?

Now you are going to back the bow with boo instead?

So lesson seems to be Osage is better than boo in compression?

Bob Barnes:
Sorry to see it didn't work.  I hope you figure out why it didn't.  Could re-heating it have caused a problem?  There have been so many successful bamboo belly bows with bamboo backs that you would think it could easily handle the compression of the osage.

Selfbowman:
I think it did not have enough Boo in the fade but not sure. Yes I have boo back on it now and it’s getting a cook. I think I will try it again sometime but I’m over it for now!!
