hickory.

I use Bow Grip 100 and I have not had any problems.
It will set up 100% at 70 deg. I usually leave it
for 36 to 72 hrs before removing form the form. I leave the boo nodes on the back only rounding them
to make a softer profile.The arrows are Martha
Stewert tomato stakes.

get something from the pics.

Very nicely done.You can also cut down osage green almost to bow form and let it seasonon the mold for a year.I've had good results also.I no longer use heat or steam.But have done this before.
