Anyone ever thought to have backed a bow with onion skin under poly??? Was making dinner tonight and was amazed at how thick some of the onion skins were....I know weird...But hey, that is how I roll......May try a piec on a flexible piece of wood to see if it has any merit..I'll keep ya posted...Thoughts?

I've always wondered about backing one with Processed Cheese slices. I don't know what it is but it gets tough when you leave it in the sun.

processed cheese is only like one molecule away from being plastic so it may not fit into this forum, the mods may need to remove your comment !

No really, thing about id. Contoured strands in the onion skin, just like linen. Flexible when whet like snake skin...and pretty dursble over all. It protects the onion under ground....and it is about as Native and Abo as one could get....I'm going to try it.....

No, but i have thought about using milk and vinegar for tip overlays.

You must have tougher onions where you are.......I do use them to make a wood stain for arrows.Very natural color. Good luck ' Frank

The problem is onions are predominantly water. Even when you think they're dried, they still have a ways to go yet to be fully dry. Not to mention instead of a stickbow, you'll eventually have a stinkbow.

I am trying to work out some funny line about magical properties and a buffalo taking a "leek" on it. Never mind.

I hope you ant taking this wrong Mohawk,we are just having some fun at your expence,

but as you stated in the opening, Kind of odd idea.

JW it is going to be hard to beat Eddie's cheese thing even tho I know you are trying.

of course it would be purely for visual effect, its also an odd idea to back a bow with turkey feathers, but its been done and looked really cool, go for it.

If you use cheese or onion for bow backing you could always naw on the upper limb if you get hungry while hunting!!
