Dad gone burn, I wish I was there to assist you with the bow building. I am having trouble getting my feet wet.
Give it time. I broke 4 or 5 bows before I got down the tillering process. It takes practice and patients. Key is patients. I do warn you, its very addictive.
I was reading that the other night and was hoping they were joking saying I would go thru 10 bows before I made a good one.
Why do you think you broke so many? Just not working the wood enough getting it used to bending? Or cut thru the growth ring?
Any advise on this?
