Trying - To Get My Hands/Head Back Into It

PEARL DRUMS · February 25, 2011, 07:03:00 PM

I have found that too many "secrets" can sometimes change the outcome of certain bows.......

I've heard that too, from a number of bow building friends

PEARL DRUMS · February 25, 2011, 08:02:00 PM

Either that or have an unlimited number of back up staves

Oh-oh - does work going on inside my headbone count?

Actually, I am waiting for my thin cabinet scrapers from 3 Rivers to get here (early this week, I hope).
Ruddy's seemed to work well for me on my "thin-skinned" bow of this thread, the other day.

In the meantime, I am messing around with a very narrow,knotty belly split from the Osage stave that Ruddy is making a bow for me from. It keeps me busy and in practice but don't know if it will work out - even as a kids bow. However, I am taking pics, along the way, and may post them later in any case.

3 Rivers is still on the ball. My 3 thin (.004), curved cabinet scrapers, that I ordered Thurs PM, arrived today. So now I'll go back to work on my troublesome, thin ringed stave back that this thread is about (and hope to show some desirable progress soon).
