Crazy Bow- Not for BOM- Two more photos
« on: December 20, 2014, 04:02:51 pm »
This one is made from a hickory stave. 48# at 26 in.
The top limb is really funky unbraced. Hard to describe. I may take a photo later on.
The tiller looks pretty good here.
I'm about 50/50 on giving the top limb a few scrapes.
What do you think?
I'm not sure I want that top limb bending anymore.
I have to evaluate.:)
But anyway it's a bow that should not have been.
It shoots nicely.

George, I dont see anything wrong with that tiller at all, regardless of the unbraced profile. Shoot it  8)

Looks like it's bending nicely to me, George.  Good looking bow!

Jawge, it looks like time to stop scraping and start shooting. Can't tell for sure without seeing the unbraced limb, but if it has less bend than the lower limb when unbraced, then it's probably just right as is.

But you know that!
