Sinew and osage question

[scp]

This is just a speculation, but you can thin it even further and add a bamboo core before the sinew. This is rather like using the Osage just as a "horn" belly and assembling the whole bow again. Good luck.

If I had the bamboo to do it with i would try that. I do have another failed bow just like this one I can try that with. Maybe I will. I could take it down to 20 pounds at full draw, heat the entire thing in an oven to get a solid heat treat, glue the bamboo on, then lay up sinew. Could be fun. Next time though.

 Do  you have any hickory?

Nope, but the store does. What have you in mind?

The tri-lam idea with hickory and sinew added to it.
