Massaranduba/Hickory
« on: October 16, 2018, 04:07:47 am »
So here is another Massaranduba/Hickory combo. Made for a lady shooter. I'm liking this massaranduba wood, although it is prone to take set easily.
Dims: 70"ttt, 68"ntn, 40mm wide at handle with 2" fades tapering to 1/2" tips. 35#@28"

A really beuatiful one! Just a pair of questions: How thick is the bow?Does this design took less set than a narrower one?

Nice smooth bends on both limbs. Everything looks very clean and well made. Congrats! )P(

Nice looking bow, nice color combo.
IMO you could have spread out the bend more. I would make the outer limb and inner limb work more.

Looks like some great craftsmanship. A bow like that deserves some pictures during the day without the harsh shadows.

I use a lot of Mass and usually my bows take little to no set. I think the issue is your tiller. The Full draw photo you have up clearly shows the last 8-10" of your limb doing nothing which is over straining the mid limb area causing set.

Soften the tips and get a more circular shape over the entire limb and the bow will be much better.
