How to Make a Self Bow Part 2

[ventilatedzygote]

are you only using the rasp on the belly at this point, since the growth ring is set on the back?

@paperman1231 that's what i was just thinking.

Doesn't curing the sinew take it out of the self bow stage?

thats alot of hide glue. have you made any more bows since this one? id like to see them if you have seeing as this is only your second bow.

what does the rubbing alchohol n boiling water do to da bow?

[josef2424]

@joemamba5zz it cleans all of the natural oils off the surface of the bow (and the the oils from my hand) so that the glue will cling to the wood surface better.

how long did you let the sinew dry?

[josef2424]

@laDUCKHUNTER504 for 10 days. the more humid the air is, the longer you have to dry it
