Primitive Archer

I always seal the backs and ends of spring or early summer cut hickory, wipe them down good to get as much of the moisture off , also try and keep the out of the sun and in as cool a place as I can. They will check pretty quick if you don't. I usually put 1 coat on, let it dry and then another. I use slightly watered down wood glue.

I haven't seen and activity in a long time.
Whats going on?

I don’t recommend this with a selfbow unless you want to make the bow build a long slow build. Now made from different laminators it would be much easier.

I agree, Arvin. I made one maple pyramid from a board using software calculated dimensions and it was a significant nuisance to keep measuring thickness with calipers and slowly sneaking up on the final dimensions while tying to keep everything even and correct. Switching to a multi-lam bow design was much, much more straightforward and I had better control of the important dimensions.

Thanks as always for sharing Pappy !  Bob

Gosh I love that show. I'd really like an opportunity to go on it. Which one of our members was it that went on and won? And for that matter, how many of us have gone on the show?
