This is a new Osage I'm working on, was spliced together from two billets of a small(4" approx) tree. The rings are ridiculously tight, plus I decrowned it slightly, so it's getting a sinew backing with prairie rattlesnake skins.
My question is this: I am running the sinew just past the fade on the static recurve but would like to run the snake skins the entire length. Should I lay the skins over the tip and then slice around the tip with a razor blade? I've included pics, any help is appreciated.
