You study the instructions about bow cable-backing. By adding and tightening a cable made of animal sinew or leather along the bow's surface, it is possible to increase the bow's draw strength without risking breakage or fracture of the wood. This process begins by securing the bow with clamps to help unstring and secure it. Then some shaping and carving grooves for the cable to sit will be necessary. After a time the leather strips can be assembled onto the bow, followed by some touchup shaping. To finish, more stain must be applied to the bow.
