Hi Everyone,
I have made a yew and sinew lath and have covered the sinew in birch bark. I am going to paint the lath with acrylics (oils are a bridge too far). Is it a good idea to cover the belly of the lath with birch bark as well? I would like it to be as authentic as possible; were all (mid 15th century) bow laths completely wrapped?
Thanks
Andrew
