Thinking on the other topic about the wealth of knowledge this forum is and how much I have learned here I think a big part of my progression is due to this and wanted to thank everyone for answering my inane and off topic questions and showing an interest
I have an ultimate goal in mind of the type of bow (set) I want to build but I am not there yet. Not that I am saying when i get there I will stop learning or progressing just that my skills, tools, and materials aren't at the level I need them to be to produce what I want yet.
I work strictly in 1:3 scale miniatures, something many of you probably aren't that interested in, but because of that some of the techniques are different and the materials aren't available. For instance I needed to commission the metal parts I wanted to use from arrow points to take down bow joiners, in 1:3 scale. (see attached for what I have so far). I can't just use regular bow string but needed something strong but scale size. I need thinner leather for my handle wrap. So the search for materials is part of it. A knot you can work around in a full size bow can be catastrophic in a miniature.
I haven't attempted the take down longbow yet. But each bow I make I try to improve over the last one both in tiller and finish. I want to be able to tiller a one piece before I attempt a two piece.
So thank you to everyone for helping me get this far
