Title: Help with a pin knot
Post by: Young Bowyer on June 03, 2011, 05:37:59 pm

First time refleing my bow and a pin knot on my lower limb started to crack, it goes width-wise about 1/4", I heard in Gordon's hazelnut bow that he used a rawhide patch to stop it, are there any other ways to prevent this? Thanks, YB  :)

pictures would be best, but does the crack extend past the knot and into the wood?
