Thanks, George. I was thinking about shaping the tips today but decided to wait until I brace it again to see how the string tracks. I'm getting impatient too but I know all too well where impatience gets me so I'll just have to wait a bit linger. Our house is pretty dry in the winter even with humidifiers going so I'm sure it will be dry enough before too long.

Sounds like it’s time to start on another one in the meantime Pat. That’s what I do when I get impatient.

Always nice to have a few projects in different stages to work at when the bug hits.

That's right, George. We "mature" guys have to be conservative with our energies.  :OK

February 16 will be 2 weeks since I added the last sinew and rawhide backing so then or sometimes shortly after that I will work on bracing the bow.   (A)
