 :D :D :D Steve I can see you doing that ;)

Well I've being advised that the snakey Boo Red Oak will probably fail, so I think I'll just make a cotton backed Red Oak as my first bow back,... I got some Ipe I migth try that boo on.

Here's an other bow almost finished, it lifted a large spinter at about 22-24' on the tree (I had to take some of the back of because of bugs damage so it's violated.

First I was thinking of a total sinew job, but now I'm considering a sinew patch and a cotton backing for the whole bow.

what do you think ?
