Osage limb issue?? (pic) need bowyers help
« on: September 12, 2008, 09:58:00 AM »
goodoleboy sent me this pic. Does anyone know what this is or what is causing it?

Glass backed Osage longbow. This is on the Osage belly of the bow.

 

Thanks for the help..

Pic is badly out of focus, but my guess would be a glue void.

Is it a new bow?

I see like that when I am really tired, under the influence or forget my contacts/glasses.  I'm not sure what is causing it with the camera.  You should post on the photo forum.

Looks like small stress lines in the glass running across the limbs.  Is that the problem?  If so, it shouldn't cause any trouble.

If its the white spot,I'm with Mike, dry glue joint. You might use CA before it gets worse at your own risk.... Or send it to the bowyer for a look.
 Had a red elm bow with the same prob,kept gettin bigger,finally blew up. It was my fault tho,the riser didn't fit the form properly at glue up.
Stay sharp, Kenny.
