I am going to try to make some for my Quinn Stallion. Anyone have any pointers or any guidance on how they are done? what kind of glue do I use to glue to the knob? What kind of finish? poloyurethane? Varnish?? Do I put the skull side of the burr in or out or does it matter? I got some big nasty burrs off of a nice 8 point I killed a long time ago that I am planning on using. Thanks for yall's time. ><> del :campfire:
The "skull side out" is most common. I cut the antler side fat and drilled a counter hole, filled with a strong two part epoxy, set the bolt in flush with the antler, and then a plastic washer to protect the bow finish. I followed a "How To" in here but I don't recall who posted it.
Thanks for the quik reply! Good stuff ><> del
There was a how to in a TBM, don't remember the year or month. JB Weld was used.
This post helped me, Jared is a very nice fellow, he makes great bows to boot!!!!
