RE: Selfbow break
Well, good news keeps rollin in. I got ahold of the bowyer who made this bow. The guy is kind beyond words. He told me to send it back. He wants to wrap area with a butt load of sinew, then he wants to take elk horn and smooth it down and reinforce the front 6-8" (kinda like morrison bows). He feels so bad about the break, he is sending me a 70" yew stave, snake skins, and elk hoof to put tips on my new osage bow.
And I am not saying he is a good guy because he is sending me free stuff, but he gave me some excellent tips on my bowmaking
