Wife & I were in Aldi's the other day, and I noticed that they had a stack of brown paper grocery bags at the check-out. As I remember from my childhood, these can serve double duty.
My contribution to help in the time of TP shortage.
You're welcome.

You can also back a wood bow with paper grocery bags and wood glue. It adds strength and gives a little protection from splinters lifting.

Since moving, a few years back, I've let it go by the wayside. I have several, in various stages of completion, hanging in my shop. I have some nice bamboo slats I bought awhile back that I'm wanting to make one from. |

No, I bought a bundle of 'em and they're pretty much as I bought them. I've watched some pretty informative vids on making an all 'boo bow. I hope to try my hand at it after getting my garden plot ready I also have some white oak that I might try to back with it. |
