bow search help
« on: December 09, 2015, 03:46:30 pm »
A fellow long ago posted a beautiful erc bow he made from scrap erc slats. He ripped the slat down the middle and scarfed the ends together. The slats had sap and heartwood in them, divided down the center of the bow. The scarf was unusual in it looked like a puzzle piece. I believe it was bamboo backed. anybody got a link to that bow, I cant find it.

I recently got some erc that I can do this with and I wanna try it. Probably going to need a core on this though.
