Title: eucalyptus bow after fiber+polyester resin added + pics
Post by: inksoup on December 20, 2012, 06:32:00 AM
you may remember i have made a bow from eucalyptus.
after sometime since it's low power, i decided to add fiber glass backing with polyester.
i applied two layers on both back and belly.
for the belly side, i was thinking that it can be replication of horn like.

it doubled the power by the way. it is now 45-50 lbs.

so here it is:
