« on: February 25, 2010, 11:18:09 am »

Looks good so far....maybe the left limb is more stiff in the mid-limb area...unless you are after a lower limb positive tiller that is.

I think you are right about the left limb, will scrape a bit more mid limb. Should it be more elliptical, more bend towards the tips?

Guess my eyes are different,looks pretty good just a little flat a few inches out of the fad on the right limb for 6 inches or so. Overall nice. :)

If those horizontal lines on the backboard are true then the string on the nock of the left limb just about touches the line but the same point on the right is deffinitely lower.

i agree with Del, 1/2, & Pappy- left mid limb & right limb just outside of the fade both look stiff

that's some pretty straight looking serviceberry!

Hope I'm, not harping on here, but if you have a grid, you may as well make use of it.
Third horizontal line down from the handle, follow it to the right, you cross 6 vertical lines and nearly get to the 7th to get to the limb.
Following to the left, it's just over 7 lines.
please ignore me if I'm being a bore here... :-[

(BTW, I do realise bows aren't symetrical etc, I'm just trying to point out some tips...ok I'll shut up and scamper away to my secret cat nest now  ;D)

Left limb - mid limb slightly stiff?  It's awfully close.  Man, your workshop looks really nice - I wish I had that grid system, pulley, spring scale, and staves up top! ;D
