gut it was that right limb that pulled the splinter. just out of the fade a bit where it was bending the most. rings were also thinner on that side just a few inches before the big knot that went all the way through the center. I also heat treated to straighten out a little twist and when I did I got some cracks along the back running parallel to the grain. Not deep ones but the splinter followed one of those exactly.
so yea prob a combo of pushing it to the limits of design.. bit stiff in outer limb of the same that pulled splinter, the heat treat cracks, and the thinner ring section. Just couldnt take it.
So chris has got me thinking on the sinew... I was planning on super glue, then back with silk then skin if it held up for a ton of shots.... didnt want to put too much more time into it if it is gonna go.
you guys got any opinion on which might hold better. Sinew or silk backing?
would be nice to sinew it, flip tips and even out that flat spot. but dont want to invest a ton of time if she is gonna blow... guess there is only one way to find out.
gotta least try. silk would be quicker and easier for sure.
later
