a friend was heating some reflex into a bow she was working on and outer thirds on both tips got a little scortched. (this is hickory)
I figured it'd be fine but figured I should make sure..... she could sinew wrap it there or something if it was going to be a problem....

That looks like the back and just some wrap around heat from the belly...? Out near the tips where there is minimal bending it won’t be a problem with Hickory...Don

Hardly got hot. You be cookin with grease!

That does not look too bad. I assume you will be rounding those edges anyway, so I suspect that will make a lot of the scorch disappear. If it were in a bending portion of the limb, I might worry more. I think it will be fine.

Okay thanks for confirming :OK

I’ve gotten away with about that much. Only one way to find out! ;D

Not a heat expert, but good to hear the ladies are getting involved! How about showing the rest of the bow!

You must have something of a club down there. I agree with the above.

Yes she is an awesome person... I’ll post pics of the bow once it’s done :)
