It looks killer Dave. You'll hit your 55# I'll bet. I have never been a bendy handle guy, mostly because I like a more center shot bow, but your narrower grip would work, especially with the added cork.
Superdav, thank you for sharing, I never liked some of the sinew finishes I’ve done because of how rough it turned out, this is very helpful.
Turning out great. Bow is looking great. Really like the smooth sinew job.
Hey gang. Just a quick update on this little bow. I am posting a short video link here for those interested in burnishing sinew covering. Depending on how fast it dries in your area and climate will determine this. Here in Alberta mine was sufficiently dry for me to burnish mi e smooth. In the video you can see me showing a smooth piece of steel rod to do this. I’ve done this with a coffee mug. Anything smooth will work. I also use thinned glue. Some use warm water for this but I like the gap filling aspect of the thinned glue worked in. It creates a very smooth and compressed top layer finish. Sanding it down works too to give a smooth finish but this adds the benefit of compressing the fibers down.
