Little white lines in my limbs. Help!
« on: June 12, 2009, 04:27:00 PM »
I picked up this Fox Royal Crown last fall from a fellow gang member.I didn't notice these lines in the limbs when I got the bow.Then this spring I noticed these lines.I sent Ron an email with pics, he said he couldn't open up the pics and if the white lines are going across the limbs it is just the finish.I can't feel them. Here are some pics, what do you guys think? Should I worry? Thanks Gary

The pics look good on TG, maybe Ron could look at them here. I can't really tell, but it looks like imperfections in the finish. Are they at the fades?

Looks like the finish is crazing.

On the top limb it is in the fades,but the bottom limb has it just about the lenght of the limb.

That is just a finish issue. It usually happens where the bow bends the most. If the finish is not flexible enough, it starts to crack. It sometimes happens if the finish is over catalyzed. It wont hurt the bow any but is kind of unsightly.

Well I guess it is just a finish issue. Maybe I will have it refinished someday.
