  • Hello there nice job! I have a question though. I have a simillar bow made of an Africa originated wood called ''iroko''. The problem is that it doesn't have the flexibility required to become a functional bow. Do you know if it possible to gain flexibility after the boiling phase? Thank you.

  • hey i have a question. I was planing on steaming the wood to make a recurve to give it the curves. but i thought if u steam wood and bend it then when it cools down it stays in that shape and isnt too flexible so it'll brake. Is this true?

  • how long did you leave the steamed wood on the form?

  • @SoothingFlames98 did you the a guitar body starts as a 1 3/4 inch thick piece of wood? well a bow startis in a similar way

  • oooohhhh nvm the ends get cut off

  • how is tht a bow?!?!?!

  • No, just a fiberglass recurve, unstrung.

  • did you use a horsebow??

  • I just laid down a recurve bow, traced it, cut out two layers of 3/4" particle board and glued them together, then attached them to a larger piece of particle board.

  • how did you make the frame you put it in
