Backing Idea?
« on: December 21, 2009, 04:25:00 PM »
Could strands of baler twine be used as a backing?

Never tried that before.  I like the idea.  I have used burlap with great success. I would break the twine down to fine groups of fibers rather than leaving it all twisted.  If you soften it and soak it in glue just like you were doing a sinew back bow it might even have the look.    If you decide to give it a whirl make sure it is clean.  Photo document the process and keep us up to date!  

good luck!

Would this be a good idea to try on a board bow or would it really matter?

Interesting idea, what type of glue would you use?

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I haven't the slightest idea I'm new at this but I think the twine is made of nylon I was thinking maybe Titebond II or III?
