Bows / Re: Fire Hardening
« Last post by Eric Krewson on November 24, 2025, 10:31:45 am »Full length toasting but not like putting the bow over a fire pit, I refine the tiller after toasting.
I darkened out the lighter spots after I took the picture, after the final tiller some of the darker areas only showed a hint of toasting.
I had so much osage back when I was making bows (still do, I live in osage country) that I didn't worry abut ruining a stave which I never did by toasting a sluggish bow.

I'm now looking forward to seeing some of the 2nd string bows as you finish them.
I hope your surgery goes well and that your hand heals quickly.
