rawhide patch???
« on: September 14, 2011, 05:12:08 pm »
hi all :D

So I'm working on a elm static re-curve and i have a small splinter on the back(well I'm sure it will become a splinter) so what I'm wondering is could i put a small patch of raw over the splinter instead of backing the whole bow???
thanks very much

What I usually do is wrap the splinter with back sinew.  Looks kinda cool after the bow has a finish on it, also.  I call it a band-aid.

Don't see why not, any good wood glue should work.I usually do like Matt and wrap  it,never really tried a rawhide patch, I know it should work fine just never tried it. :)
