What would you do? . . . DONE . . . Meet Eve:)
« on: January 15, 2012, 08:57:49 pm »
here's a bow i'm working on:



Got it down to floor tiller, and has parallel limbs to last 10" where it tapers to the nocks.  But side profile is perty much the same.

Question:  How much correction and where would you do it?  Take away some reflex in one and add to other?  Match deflexed limb to reflexed?  Flip tips to match. 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Y'all are crackin me up!  I was tempted to tiller as-is, same as y'all.  . . but that scared the crud outta me, so i was gonna straighten her out ::)

BUT, since y'all are all encouraging and stuff, and believin in me, Ima go for it!  Y'all gotta promise to help me out though ;)

twisted:  i've got a few more from this stash that will likely turn out similar, i'll set one aside for ya!

Bill:  thanks for believin in me, i'll have to skin another, this one is for the wife (gives me time to hunt down a snake :o )

Thanks a ton boys, can't wait to get to tillerin!

I'd be a lil nervous too. But why not?
If you ain't breaking you ain't building right?

I tend to build and build and build until I break... just to learn what I can get way with. Its a hobby not a way of life, right?...

I hate to be the dissenter, but I would add reflex to that left limb where it dips down.  Every bow I've ever done with reflex in one limb  and deflex in the other has not worked well.  I don't mind all the snakiness in the world, but I don't do reflex/deflex (one limb each).  Just my opinion.

I agree with George. Take that little bit of deflex out of the left limb near the grip and she'd have a fairly symmetrical look with a setback handle.
And it'll definitely still have character.
