I had a lot of meat/hides and heads to catch up on , so stayed pretty busy. 
Had Beau's deer to take care of first thing, he can do it but I have the time and he knows I enjoy it.

Bows / Black locusts bow
« Last post by Selfbowman on November 16, 2025, 06:51:53 pm »I got this black locust stave from Jim Hammer. I felt that it was real dense so I did a couple of one inch cubes and weighed them then did a float test. Here are the results. They both weighed .54oz. Pics of float test.

Bows / Re: Seeking advice on birch bark wrapped sinew backed bow
« Last post by Pat B on November 16, 2025, 06:51:48 pm »TB3 usually dries in 24 hours but like JW said some of the moisture in the glue will migrate into the wood. There will still be some moisture from the sinew also.Maybe scraping the birch bark from the belly will speed up the drying some.
