First Backed Bow

<< < (5/5)

jamie:
very nice . i had to read it twice to make sure my mind wasnt playing tricks with the backing. very cool. peace

hammertime:
greg.Yes I steamed in the curves just after the floor tillering stage.I let each curve clamped for about five days for drying.Then moved forward,slowly.Hammertime

hammertime:
The backin started a 1/8" but I sanded that down a ways.The backing comes from the same cabinet shop I got the ash from.Didn't know If it would work for backing but the grain seemed to run real straight so I thought I would try it,sure is a beautiful wood the pictures do not do it justice. thanks Hammertime.

Pappy:

smooth one out to me.I do alot that way. :)
