nearly finished BBI pyramid
« on: February 28, 2009, 07:09:06 pm »
65ntn, 65#@28"
still some work left,  I think I'll remove some at the lower inner limbs, the upper outer limbs, and a give few scratches over the whole upper limb. and there's something to do on these nocks
1 1/2" wide at fades, 1/4" wide at tips(but still pretty thick there, ugh!)
boo backed Ipe, zebrano-wenge handle, ebony-boo tip overlays. ...And my first try at a laminate/backed bow

hey, very nice!
the bend looks really good on both imbs, but the lower limb could bend a bit more overall, i would mean.
please some more details!
congrats, frank

thank ya'll guys :D

frank, I prefer a slight positive tiller, wich means I'll remove some from the upper outter limbs, and a scratch from the lower fades :)
hopefully I'll get it somehow more balanced out :)

I don't know... looks pretty done to me! Nice job on the bulbous handle, and the fades. Tiller looks good. I'd polish it up, and call it a bow.

That's really sleek... How thick are the limbs?  People always post back or front views and I can never tell how thick per width.

Thanks
