Dear all,

this is my first projekt. Finished it last week. Now it has to rest a long time :-(

beautiful! , what have you used to to cover the sinew?
Kyudohund
The sinews are still naked. I only put in a little amount of green watercolor in the glue to have a good contrast to the other layer of sinew, to do a faultless job. The bow will be covered with leather after tillering.....if he survives.

Did sinew cracked along bow?
Kyudohund
No did not, but the bow is "fresh", so I will keep you on latest news; if something happens

I tried this summer to glue some horse sinew to piece of wood and everthing cracked. I think that sinew dried up to quick. Cracks were long 10mm and wide 2-2.5mm.

I forget to say that this is very nice bow.
