Kevin it’s looking like 1-3/4” at fades 1-1/2 at mid limb 5/16” at tip. 67”ntn 9” handle. 48-50# at 28-29”. I wish the smart guys could give me perfect diminishing mass on A limb 28” weighing 8oz total per limb. I’d have some idea how much to trap it. I don’t think they can do it. I’ve ask to many! Second heat treat and straighten complete.

Glue dry and most propeller gone after two heat sessions. This piece of wood is taking the heat pretty good.

Heat session 3 . Ive smoothed up the rough blank . Got the blank about the same thickness. I will heat and let the bow limb float to its desired place between the plywood shims. I’ve found at this stage if everything is even in thickness the grain will almost straighten its self., I just shim as I go here.
