4th ELB since friday
Badger:
If I don't get this one right I quit! First one too much bend in the handle, second one too much bend in the outer limbs, 3rd one just a little more set than I wanted. This is all because I try to rough them out too close to finished demensions. This one I am on now is looking just right so far if I don't screw something up.
Del the cat:
You love it really ;) >:D

Badger:
I am trying for a little more mass and a slightly more extreme elyptical tiller, not radical just more than usual. I have trouble keeping that transition smooth, I have always struggled with this. This last one I am going more by limb taper than watching the limbs bend and spot scraping it. 50@20" going for 50#@26". I call this the death zone where they start to take set.
Ian.:
Absolutely post 20" is the killer. Also did you miss the 1 off your weight or do you mean 50lb? >:D
Badger:
It is a 50# elb flight bow for a young lady from hungry. Anything under about 80# is kind of hard with the wood combo I am using. white oak backed ipe. My eye is so used to the stiff handled bows I normally build.
