Cool Shredd, you get Roy's "Camp Salami" loin cloth.

I looked at the Fiebings SDS sheets and the alcohol dye is aniline. Wonder why they use an alcohol base rater than water?

Drys faster??

Alcohol evaporates quickly without adversely affecting the leather where water would. With wood the water would raise the grain, alcohol won't.

Most commercial leather tanneries use a process called "chrome tanning".

All your car leather seats, sofas etc are chrome tanned

Testing new 60" Hybrid-Longbow Form for an other bow-building-kit.
Plus an other glue, that may be more suitable for curingbat room temperature.

So two unnown influences.

Hope it will come out the way i planned.

Stared at a dogs butt most of the day.

Got home and got overlays ready to glue up on limb butts.

   Glad you made it through...  The sickness wasn't so bad it was the after effects...

   At least my pool game went up a notch or two...  Played 2 to 3 hours every day... 

   We got any other pool players out there??

B-JS -- nice to see someone else around here who uses open-top rubberband forms.  Nice looking build you've got going there...

That's how i started.
And that's whats best for a Starter Kit to build your first laminated Bow.

Still good and decent for dozends and hundreds of bows, but i'm to lazy to wrestle with EVERY single bow, i have to glue up.  :biglaugh:

The bows, i sell, are pressed with a hose and full form with heat stripes.

Dave, your handle is woodcarver not finger carver. Looks like something I'd do.  :dunno:

No wood carving for a few days now. I was cutting a bevel using the bandsaw and I forgot that the blade is exposed because of the angle.
Those wood slicers really are sharp, even after a ton of use. Take my word for it.
I don’t know if I hit the bone in my middle finger, but it feels like its clamped in a vice.

Bue, it’s only the second time that I have been bitten by a bandsaw. The last time I had a beautiful woman on my mind. 😍
You better believe it hurts!

Dreaming of beautiful women when using sharp tools is a no no.
