help with a cracked limb
« on: August 09, 2014, 02:21:04 pm »
I'm in the process of making an Osage bow and have linear crack on the lower limb on the fade  out on belly side.  I'm wondering if I wrap in artificial sinew can I tru oil over it? Or should I wrap after I tru oil before? 
Thanks
Ben

i dont think you will have to do anything,, it is a check,,, it may even go away as you work the bow,,,

Superglue it and proceed like it doesn't exist.

Good advise above.  It's in the non working portion of the bow.

Looks like it's in the fads......but did it show up while tillering , was it there all along, how far are you to the target weight?  Lots of variables.

Southern IL give us a few more details.......be glad to help...

It's in a non working part of the bow. It's at its target weight . I believe the crack was there but did not notice until almost tillered. Crack does not go thru to back.  Thanks for the help.
