Title: String Follow Bow Form Specs
Post by: Dick in Seattle on December 31, 2011, 08:36:00 PM
In response to inquiries about string follow bows and a form pattern to make them,  I offered to post specs for my Traditional pattern form.   Got that done today.  Anyone who knows how to make a form to begin with should have no trouble duplicating this form, which has produced all of my Traditionals like Bamboozle and Chocolate Moose.  Be aware that this is a very old pattern and the amount of string follow is extreme by today's standards.  (Why would you want to use today's standards, anyway? We're traditional...)  Definitely costs a bit of speed, but it's the most forgiving design I've ever shot.
