Re: Starting a shop
35 Govetts Leap Rd Blackheath, Old hardware store in the main street of town. Steve I was in the area, called in to the shop on Sunday and spoke to Erin. It deserves any support or publicity we can give. It appears to be a good location and especially popular on weekends. Wishing you every success ...

Re: Sinew backed Spotted gum
Hi harry, thanks for shareing your experience. Do you know about sizing the back off the bow with glue before laying down the sinew? Probably why the sinew started lifting. By the second attempt it was probably suitably sized with glue. Plenty of build alongs on primitive archer. Cheers steve.

Re: Sinew backed Spotted gum
Hi Harry, the bow looks good. The Lever bows require a fair bit of mass reduction to minimise the shock. A fast flight string will assist with the shock too.
What glue did you use for the sinew backing? Thanks Steve

Re: couple of new ones.
Thanks Mika and Steve. Yep Steve that's exactly the problem I have with left handed bows. Turned myself in knots trying to test it myself , managed to get a left hander to do the honors while I stood close by. Actually worked as bow is whisper quiet. My Only lefties have been for Kevin so he has sh...

the joys of all wood bows Hey? Feel your pain Daryl, but cant offer anything constructive as to the where's and why's of such a spectacular implosion. Poor early to late wood ratio in the growth rings coupled with thin rings makes it hard to pre tiller before backing. Sorry to see it fail daryl, it...

Re: Californian style Osage bow, work in progress.
Very Nice Daryl, I love shorty Osage bows. I agree the rings don't look ideal. Asian grocery suppliers online have Deer Tendons.
Nice bow CMoore, welldone. Cheers Steve

Re: Splitting a bamboo pole
Hi indie, smooth on or Techniglue would be ideal. The splice could be hidden with a nice leather handle wrap but a nice scarf joint would look better if you dont want a wrap. A machete would work fine, once you get the split started you can actually pull the pole apart. Looking forward to seeing you...

Re: Splitting a bamboo pole
Hi Indie, I use a meat cleaver to split the poles. Any piece of flat steel sharpened to an edge can be used hit with a mallet of large bit of timber. Perhaps a take down sleeve type bow will allow you to use billets as the nodes when close together will make the bamboo quite a lot stiffer than where...
