Hey all,
New to traditional bows. I bought a used York and was looking it over. On the front of both limbs, there are these really really fine horizontal lines that I can see if the light hits it just at the right angle. They almost look like the finish wasn't flexible enough and cracked at some point.
Is there a way to fix this? Does it need to be fixed?
Any help is appreciated ladies and gents.
gonna need a pic...
Sounds like the finish cracked. Not a huge deal but could be sealed back up to keep out the moisture. A pic will help tho.
Ok - I will take a pic when I get back home. It doesn't look deeper than the finish, so I would agree, but for safety's sake, I'll add a pic.
Might be chrysaled (sp). Basically compression ridges. Can happen in wood or glass but in glass there is not much of a "ridge" to it.
That's assuming that by "front" you mean face rather than the back.
when he says face , i think he means the back of the bow...
Probably so. If so, they are not chrysals, Iguess.
