  • where did you learn!?

  • could you tell me,at what point (height,1 foot,2 feet,ect),do I make the grip?

  • @NakedSamurai5000 usually just titebond or any other pva thats waterproof

  • @minxel16 I knew they were glued is there a specific glue used?

  • @NakedSamurai5000 without the glue-the recurve wouldn't set in shape

  • Aside from being short once you wrapped what I assume is green bamboo on the outer edge your using the wedges to sandwich the pieces together did you use a glue to weld them together? before tying?
