I've posted this question on a couple of bowyers forums, i just like to pick the brains of those who might know on here though.
The Meareheath flatbow has strapping, might be rawhide or sinew. My question is, how would this have been stuck to the wood? I dont think hide glue would have been upto the job, perhaps im wrong? Do any of you have any ideas about how it would have been done? Im in the process of making one of these bows, and to make it more authentic
i want to add the strapping, what modern day adhesive do you think would be best to use?
Cheers!
