No problem I found the link a long time ago and added it to my favorites! I wish Joe Klink was still on here he did some great work!

  Back when I backed bows just to do it. I used it on 3 HICKORY a 1 OSAGE I think it dose have a good bit of. protection. But I put it on just for the looks on perfectly good bows. I've never put it one a bow that needed backing.

Cherry Bark on an Osage Bow makes a very pretty bow. The bark that I harvested, wasn't real big - it took three pieces per limb to back a 66" bow. John Strunk walked Me threw the process and it turned out great. Used TB II for glue and wrapped the seams (joints in backing) with colored rod wrapping thread.
