Bows / Re: ECHO II
« Last post by Tuomo on January 08, 2026, 02:54:04 am »
Very nice bow!

However, the bow is made in winter, when the air is very dry. What happens when the humidity increases? I have made a few take-down bows of this kind with a wooden male joint, and it tends to swell in more humid conditions (sorry…). Then it becomes difficult - or impossible - to attach or detach the parts.

Do you have a solution to this problem? Or perhaps I should ask: what is your solution?

Here is the original ECHO bow by Simson:

Wow! - That bow came out of the stave you have pictured? That's amazing.

Yes, think so, too!
This sure an ultimate design and a thing of beauty!

Arrows / Increasing weight of glue on heads?
« Last post by WhistlingBadger on January 08, 2026, 01:03:46 am »
Anybody know a good way to increase the weight of glue-on heads by around 20 grains?  I just got some really cool heads from 3rivers that weigh 125 gr.  I'd really like them to weigh 145.  Tried dumping lead shavings inside, but there wasn't enough room to glue on the arrow.  20 gr. of lead shavings takes up a surprising amount of room.

What an absolute beauty.  To my eye, that's about as close to a perfect looking selfbow as I've ever seen.
