fire hardened the belly, prepared my bundle of sinew, mixed my hide glue, and sized the back.
...and some people watch you because you are an old friend and they just enjoy watching you do your thing.
@@andyrunkel8296 I appreciate that!
And more often than not primitive methods are very surprisingly effective
@@danielspain7231 Efficient and effective with minimal materials.
Hey John, yep I always go for that glassy sizing even if it takes 20 layers for the back to finally soak it up, it makes for a very strong surface for adhesion, and more often than not I don’t even need to bind it in, in fact I can’t remember the last time I used a binding..
@@danielspain7231 I totally get it. I basically bind mine because I do a lot of painting. Otherwise I do like the look of a natural unbound sinew back.
could you do a video about tillering a horse bow?
@@randalboatman5996 Absolutely yes. I have two osage/sinew backed bows to do and I'll show that part. Great request.
Morning John. Im going to try not to continue to bug you with questions but here's one for you if you have a moment. I have granulated hide glue, do you think the powdered hide glue works more effectively? I ordered some this morning (powdered) and I'm wondering if i should be patient and wait til it comes in the mail instead of using what i have now ( granulated). WWJD? Hahaha.
@@MountaincraftOutdoors Howdy, I only use the powdered hide glue if I'm not using glue I make out of sinew scraps. Stay away from the "hide glue" in bottles that's ready to use. Great question.
@@MountaincraftOutdoors I misread your question. Was a tough night that included an ambulance for my wife. I think you'll be able to tell when you mix the powdered hide glue and get a feeling for it's tackiness. I've never seen powdered hide glue but I would think it's just hide glue that's been processed more.
The way you do it makes a lot of sense to me.
I said I backed my first sinew bow after watching your videos, it was with titebond III. I'm in the process of sizing up this short bow as I write you with hide glue. Nothing against the titebond but this feels more right to me. I'm really glad I found your channel man. Thanks again.
