  I wanna know how you got the overlay matched so perfectly.  Even with a good form, I always get some springback, or the limb isn't perfectly flat laterally.

I admit, I don't measure and mark stuff enough.....

II will rasp it flat or, in this case the two materials are thin enough and flexible enough to match the bow curvature.

Im an eyeballer myself. After layout I don't use my ruler much.

Following this in real time. Flipped the tips of a hackberry bow with dry heat yesterday and I'll be gluing on brush nocks when I get home.

This is so close to being ineffective it bothers me. PatM may have been right, that bothers me even more.. >:D  I have one tip done except for the string groove, and the limb is ready to low brace. Time to do the other and pop a string on. I have a feeling Ill be adding another chunk of wood on and extending it farther around the radius. Find out later today.

Got it low braced at about 3" It looks so dang close right now. A lot depends on what brace height the bow tunes at. Lower the better for the bridges, higher the better for the design. Talk about being in a round corner. Ill take a pic or two in a bit. I was rockin' in the free world all morning and killed my phone battery.  :)

The worst  situation is when the string comes off the bridge and then comes close to the  recurved portion at brace. You then end up with a nice snap-in feature for actually really catching brush.

Im with you there Pat. Im doing my best to avoid that. I took no more than .030" of wood from the back end's height. Worse case, I add a 1/2" high slat on top that slightly over hangs. That would be easy enough I suppose.
