Mary Rose Replica Bow Build-Along--An Entrance into the World of War Bows
Justin Snyder:
I would lots rather spend the time to polish 15 horns than the time to cut, match, glue, then remove the tips just to start over. Without polishing you cannot get a true idea if the horn has cracks or splits. Even a hairline crack could explode under the stress of a 130# draw. If your talking about 15 minutes to polish or an exploded bow the 15 minutes was well spent. Justin
duffontap:
I hadn't really thought of that. Good point.
Hey Justin,
I have 320 posts and you only have 313. Slacker. ;D

Oh, Dane--I'll take a wollen horse if your offering. I had some glue-stick ponies when I was young that would have been pretty useful for arrow penetration tests, but not much else. I totally blew that opportunity! ;D

JD, maybe I made a typo? Wollen hose, as in the stuff you protect your legs with.
duffontap:
No typo--that was totally a brain failure on my part. I was wondering what you were talking about. There's nothing like when someone misreads what you say and then thinks you're crazy! ;D
As far as protection, I think I'll just surround myself with sharpened stakes.
