Bow trade build

<< < (2/7) > >>

Selfbowman:
Ok I went 13” pretty much parallel from center of the bow and then straight Pyrimid from there to tips. I have found its best for me to finish flipping the tips after I’ve flattened the back as best as possible and got most left and right crooks from the stave blank.this stave had some areas on the back that was concaved. I managed to get most all of this out. But I will be careful during the tiller stage not to hinge these areas.

Selfbowman:
Ok I reduced the mass from the tips on my bandsaw.i will dress the edges on my belt sander and back to the caul for heat session two.

Selfbowman:
Ok second heat session complete and tips are flipped.

Selfbowman:
1-3/4” wide at fades. 13” from center of bow 1-5/8 wide and the tips will end up at about 5/16 wide. 67” ntn. 8” non bend handle section. Limb thickness at this point is right at about 1/2”
