I’ve made them before with the layered method and no heat or steam.
But what about this.
Soak my ipe staff in tung oil for a day then put it in the form and leave it until cured completely. A week? A month?
Then start the tiller.
I like the idea of things that take a month to build but might explode and break my heart in the home stretch. High drama. Was thinking of making it ambidextrous with no arrow rest so I can shoot both sides.
Backing with fiberglass of some sort.
