Author Topic: Checks and Balances-A bow build ks_stickbow Contributing Member 2006 Member # 981 posted                     HOLY CRAP...I though if you bend a bow backwards it was all over? Linc tell me about this method.....do you have to cut backwards string groovs? -------------------- Jeff Sheyn Acquiring a dog is the closest a human will ever come to picking his own relatives! ------------------------ Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive Posts: 1322 | From: Beaver Falls, PA | Registered: May 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Madpigslayer Charter Member Member # 139 posted                        how many courses of sinew did you put on the errr...uhhhh..."happy face" bow?LOL!!!! -------------------- ...gosh this is hard.

Ize jest crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyy. Wasn't easy balancing that hacksaw. LOL. I'm just toying with the toothpick bow (smiley).It was 57" NTN bend in the handle and around 8-10#@28" LOL.One heavy course of sinew.I plan on shortening the toothpick later. The other bow is 56" NTN bend in the handle 35#@28" Which will also be shortened to make a pony bow.(maybe). I just figured I would sinew some reflex into them to see what happens. -------------------- Lincoln E.

Patch job helped a little but not much. Gotta play catch up with the lower limb and try to get it bending closer to the fade.Will be tough as there is a big bump of a pin cluster there. -------------------- Lincoln E. Farr Posts: 2929 | From: Martville,New York | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Linc Trad Bowhunter Member # 285 posted                        Jeff,String grooves are done normally.You can string it to brace but DON'T try to draw it.I guess it's about the same as clamping it and putting reflex into it.Just not using heat or steam.From what I hear,as the hide glue and sinew dry out it may draw the bow into even more reflex and increase the draw weight.Maybe you remember Cooter's bow? The U shaped bow is so danged thin I could probably it backwards and not even hurt it.It's only about 1/2" wide and 3/8" thick at the most.It was actually going to be a joke but I started getting ideas floating around in this thick head of mine. -------------------- Lincoln E.

I don't think there is enough bow left to get it to a good tiller.It may end up a pony bow yet. It's either gonna kill me or cure me.NOT! I'm not going to give up! I'm not going to give up! I'm not!I'm not! How's that sound buddy? -------------------- Lincoln E. Farr Posts: 2929 | From: Martville,New York | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Dano Contributor 2009 Member # 748 posted                        Sounds like you have the right attitude You'll make a bow out of her I have faith. -------------------- "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green Posts: 7499 | From: Nevada | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  George Tsoukalas Trad Bowhunter Member # 92 posted                        Oh yes. Bring it home. Looking good. Scrap'er in the middle and scrape the right limb mid limb on. There's nothing like a character bow. It's a rescue and it's special. The tillering is best done with all 5 senses and not just the eye. There's more to a good tiller than meets the eye. The tiller will not appear perfect visually for obvious reasons but you will now it when you have it. It will develop. I will be still now.

One way or another this will become a bow or splinters.LOL. This is being a tough one.It just doesn't want to bend between the patch job and the tip. It is shaped like a very slow U between humps. I'll be working some more on it after work today and most likely all weekend. -------------------- Lincoln E.
