握把處覆皮稍微翹起（可能是弓磅數稍高，整把弓的形變也大，對覆皮造成拉伸程度高），翻了幾年前自德國網購的兔皮膠（rabbit skin glue)出來修補。
稍微隔水加熱，調成合適的濃度後，少量多次的填到縫裡。黏合後，稍微清潔、擦拭溢膠（乾了後會變得很硬、很難處理）；找個安靜乾爽的位置靜置...7日，應該就可再上弦試試；）
剩下一點點膠，加點水後封起來，存冷藏，一周後或許還需用到。

[HornBow] How to get through your Humidity-season?
Most bows are covered by leathers and raw lacquer, providing humidity-resistance in most situations.
However, in rainy seasons, relative humidities could raise up to higher than 90% while last more than a week in my zone.
This could result in decenting of poundage and some dramatic scenarios...
To avoid that, keeping a hornbow in an appropriate environment is important.
It is relative easy for modern human: Air conditioner and DeHumidifier!
With them, your bow can survive rainy seasons!
If the storage condition dose not allow you to turn on AC or dehumidifier all day long, there are many methods to reduce the level of environment humidity. The thumb up rule of these methods is: ThermoDynamic. lol hold-on...
It's just a story about heating, evaporation, etc.
Today I would like to share a method to reduce humidity using a Lodge Dutch oven.
Procedure:
1. Place your Dutch oven on a gas stove, burn it (there is nothing inside the oven) ;) 10 minutes may be enough.
2. Turn off the gas. Check the temperature above the oven. Find a warm region (~ 50-60 Celsius degree) to heat your bow.
3. Hold the bow and move it in the warm region slowly till the bow becomes as warm as your hands (~40 Celsius degree). During heating, it is important to keep your hands, as a temperature-sensor, in between the bow and oven to avoid over-heating your bow.
4. Done! see how easy it is~
[Trick]
A. Do Not Use Open Flame/Fire
B. Keep your hands in-between the bow and oven.

Note --- Oak Street Bootmakers
I visited an American Vintage Store in Taipei to
buy a pair of jean and check the quality of the products
produced by the Oak Street Bootmakers.
I knew this brand from some online forums.
Their products are pretty and seem to have high quality based on
online photos.
Of course, these pretty products come at cost of $$ :P
(the price almost equals to that of WESCO, VIBERG, WHITES...)
According to the information offered by its website,
its products are made by Horween leathers, that is,
the company uses high quality leathers to make shoes.
Somehow,
the quality of these products exhibited in the store surprised me
especially on the craft aspect.
IMHO, the prices of those shoes displayed in the store are less than fair to them,
according to the stitching quality and the craft of these joint/overlapping regions.
There are obviously differences between what I saw online and
the material objects. (do not have any idea about it!)

Music --- 8 Celsius degree
Eight Celsius degree is rare for people who live in Taiwan.
I love it!
Low temperature always reminds me wonderful moments in Europe
(I think my kerosene heater loves chilly days as well :) ).

Shoe --- Japanese shoes::Arai Hiroshi
Website: Arai Hiroshi: http://h-arai.com
I made a quick review of Japanese shoes.
On average, Japanese and Taiwanese lasts are similar.
In the other words, they are wider than that of most British lasts.
Even though I personally prefer British lasts for dressing shoes & American lasts for boots,
Japanese shoes still catch my eye using their quaint ... temperament~
I picked two pairs of shoes from Hiroshi's online gallery.
what lovely shoes they are~
