This was my summer shooting bow, had a split from a 7-8" diameter maple, either bigleaf or silver, and just took it down almost to the edges of the radius.
It was about where I wanted it, but I got anxious to shoot it and strung it too early, left the tips a bit wide, and didn't quite perfect the tiller.
It's chrysaling now mid limb on the bottom where there is too much bend, but now I know it will make a heavier shortbow.
This bow is 2 1/4 inches wide, with tips just under 3/4". The whole thing ends up about 3/8 when you eyeball it from the side. 50" long. The fades come right off the handle, then it tapers out to 2 1/4 from there about 4-5" which I think accounts for the extreme mid limb bend. Pulling 55@22.
It's still a shooter, but a bit sluggish and I know what to do next time! Thanks for lookin fellows. Sorry about the bad back ground...I'm not too photo savvy but I'm workin on it
