Not a dumb question. It just is a simple answer. When i made my firzt osage bow, chasing the ring was such a nerve wracking task. I had never done it before and the entire project depended on that task being done and done right. I wasnt sure i had read everything or understood it. After the firat few inches you get a feel for it. Just do it, and when you do you will have done it. Simple concept but its true.
And by the way, we all love pics.
