I noticed you use A Sawdust mix for plugging holes and such. That's all I ever use, best filler for cracks and larger crevices.

I noticed some ppl use straight epoxy. But I've never given it a try when this method work so well.

Thanks Gordon so far it's basic stuff. I think the real stone throwing will happen when I do the sinew work ;)

I'm enjoying while I learn.
Bryce, I just finished a knot repair on a BW bow following your TB II / sawdust repair. How long before I can work it smooth?

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

The super glue method is a better choice.
If the tb and the dust where packed nice and tight it will take quite awhile . I put mine in front of a fan and it's still a little soft.
I would say a couple days.
Super glue: couple hours-->totally dry and ready to work.

Good build along Pinecone. Keep it going I love seeing how others get to a finished bow.
Gotta ask though, have you ever showed up at the emergency room with a bow stave glued to your thumb from pushing that sawdust and super glue mix into a knot hole like that? Done it the same way myself once and almost glued my finger tight. ;D
