Bows / Re: ECHO II
« Last post by Tuomo on January 08, 2026, 02:54:04 am »Very nice bow!
However, the bow is made in winter, when the air is very dry. What happens when the humidity increases? I have made a few take-down bows of this kind with a wooden male joint, and it tends to swell in more humid conditions (sorry…). Then it becomes difficult - or impossible - to attach or detach the parts.
Do you have a solution to this problem? Or perhaps I should ask: what is your solution?
