Hey! Look what Fred sent

Some real nice sinew! My dog won't leave me alone, I better lock it up over night. Why the excitement you might ask? Well, I've never used it before and I'm very interested in seeing how it works out. I had not planned on using it , the stave have some nice back character but I'm not trusting all the pin knots also I gotta crank a couple of extra inches out of it.

So my question is in what stage should I apply the sinew?

Mr. Andersson,
      I believe that having the bare bow to at least Brace height would be desirable, That way you wont  be trying to tiller down a 100# bow after the sinew sets up 8)......and by the way if Mr. DuBois happens to chime then under no circumstance listen to him >:D >:D >:D

Turtle, Stix, man you guys are making nice progress.  That vine maple is looking interesting.  I've never had my hands on any of that but see it a lot on this site.  Looks like a challenge a minute to work with.

Stix, what wood is your bow?  Hard to keep up with everyone.  That "flip" looks mighty fine.

This is the first time I have tried vine maple but hope it wont be the last.It's nice wood to work but don't think I've ever seen any posted that didnt have a lot of character. Of course all this character in a new for me wood is forcing me to work slower which is a good thing.

I also got some  goodies in the mail yesterday.

Hey, Thanks Turtle! :)

Stix, well here's hoping it turns out okay. I just have to make draw length tillering. Probably bend the tips back a little. Not sure on that.

Here's the new shape. Now 62" bendy handle instead of the original 68" hard handle.
