Thanks for the advice. Did you use 1 layer of sinews or more than that? Do u have much time to apply the sinew before the glue starts to gel? Does it long to cover a whole bow??. Both the bows I want to sinew back are about 4 1/2 feet and when I have figured out how to post photo, i'll put them on. Do you have any photo of yous to show?? that's more than one question!!!
Hi JoJo, mine's just a pile of sinew and some horn bits so far. But I've only been working on it for 6 months or so
I'm documenting the process (or will when I get a chance to process anything, it's a pain having to have a proper job to feed my archery habit) I'm planning on a 3/16" layer of sinew and will probaby do it in 3 stages with a month to cure between layers. Hide glue can skin if it is too thick.
Hi 2BC fancy meeting you here
I thought I'd stirred up enough trouble in the other place for now so I'm lying low for a bit.
I spent a rather fine weekend in Wayne's woods and thought I'd check out the site he advertises on the back of his teeshirt.
As to the penobscott. It's yours when I've made the new one (but be prepared to wait a year or so). After all you _can_ have enough bows - ask 'er indoors
