What you've described is a fiberglass bow with a wood core. Lightly sand it, with like 120, and work your way up until you get it smooth. Don't dig into the fiberglass too much. It will change the bow.

@ArcherOut I don't think it is fiberglass it just looks like a lacquer

[ArcherOut]

@nolangreen I would almost bet you that bow ...... that it is fiberglass. See if you can see any wood grain on the outer part. Good luck.

@nolangreen Spray.

Glad you like Fox news, I heard it in the back ground. Glenn Beck is the man! Love the O'reilly factor!

For the recurve in this video how much would you charge for it? I'd love to sit down and make one for myself, I just don't have the time. I like them hand made, time and effort.

Anyway great videos, nice in-depth instructional. I'd recommend this to anyone.

@ScarRebel Glenn Beck is the man, isn't he! Also, check out Alex Jones. Unfortunately I took the recurve bows off the site. Took too much time, and my swords orders are taking up a lot of my time. For the bows I still have on my site, we are still not taking orders on them at the time either, due to order volumn.

What do you use to mark the draw wt on your bows and do you find that it fades over time?

[wtb212]

how did you recurve it ?

[tomgreenfield]

@ArcherOut if the bow is hickory, then the grain is hard to see and sanding it will only make it more difficult

[nolangreen]

@ArcherOut also would you reccomend spray on or brush on lacquer

[nolangreen]

for a bow like a martin jaguar with a big handle how would you go about refinishing it. just light sand until scratches are out. the front and rear of the limbs are green and then the edges of the limb and the handle are all natural wood.
