Title: Hickory Question
Post by: hook on March 08, 2012, 10:17:33 am

Can I leave some of the Cambium on the back of a bow?
The Bow will be for a child. 48" long and 20 lbs or so.

Yes you can leave some,I often leave some,kind of gives it a camo effect,I wouldn't leave it to think,I have had it peel up if you do that.  :)

I just got one done that scared me a couple times where the cabnium was a little thick in some deep spots that cracked loudly and lifted but no harm was done :)
