Title: Installing coin offside of sight window
Post by: Todd Brickel on October 28, 2013, 06:58:00 PM

Okay fellas, I need some guidance here.  I have two ivory scrimshaw pieces created by Marv Clyncke that I would like to install on the offside of my recurve sight window, like the old bear coins.

These ivory pieces are circular and about the same size as a quarter.  They are not very thick, so the depth I need to cut into the bow is shallow.

How does one go about doing this with precision?  I'm sure guys have inserted coins before so I think the process would be similar.

I've installed quiver bushings before, but that seems infinitely easier.

Really could use some tips, tricks and guidance with this project.

Thanks
Todd

Yep, what Jason says.  And use a drill press. I find that a little bit of acrylic caulk will hold most pieces in place.
