grain? for ERC
« on: December 10, 2010, 09:53:28 pm »
On my eastern red cedar stave.  I was wondering do I need to try and follow the grain on the sides Or just get my shape I need.  It is very hard to see the longitudinal grain.  I am going to leave the sap wood on and try to make it 50/50 sapwood/heartwood.  I also plan to back it with rawhide or sinew.  Going for a overbuilt bow.  Any suggestion would help me.  Thanks

ok thats what I wanted to know....I am going to stay as close as possible with the grain but it is very hard to tell on the sapwood.  I will rough it close, back then final tiller.  I hope it works out.
