Tim, One of the reasons I think I have had so much success with sinew is that the hide glue ADDS moisture to the wood. wierd, huh.
I think Marc's humidity is a lot higher than mine here, too. Completely differant from the east coast.
I have always thought that hickory would be dynamite up here for the same reason. perhaps, sinew backed hickory, LOL.
...honestly, this little bow is gonna be a screamer. I am pretty sure Chris is gonna get a bow out of this one, we will see how he handles the ride!!! I wish MY first bow would have been so cool!!! (didnt know how to get hedge back then...haha)
