Bows / Re: Is this a suitable way to attach siyah?
« Last post by willie on February 01, 2026, 04:05:57 pm »
wide? as in keeping just over the width of your thumbnail in the pic?

consider a v splice in the same plane as billets are often spliced at the handle that increases the glue joint area and subjects the glue joint to shear
can you find siyah materiel with a natural crook in the grain?

yes to the siyahs being inline at full draw

but its a test bow? so try what you like be shure to test with very light arrows

Had a really good peaceful Saturday evening and night watching the birds, I trowed out some seed and they were loving it, Annie was keeping a close eye on them also. Guess this kind of weather is tough on everything. Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. :) :)

Got 1 handle fitted to one of the file knives and a plan for the other, looking good so far, was to cold to try and temper the blades back so will do that this week before I can install the handles.  :)

Got my files softened and I put them in sand in my hot plate to cool slow. Joe showed up and braved the cold to shoot and hang out for a bit. then I got out for some drive way work, the tiller works pretty good on breaking up the ice.  :) much better than the box blade did. ;) :)
