Bingham take-down recurve project
« on: August 17, 2008, 05:19:00 PM »
I am putting together the hotbox and limb form for a Bingham takedowm recurve. I have finished the hot box and have glued the wood together for the limb form.
 My calculation was off just a bit for the limb form and my finished width is a 1/6" over the design desired width. I called Bingham and they said a 1/6" wasn't going to be a problem.
 
As I am getting ready to cut the limb form into two pieces...Is there anyone out there that has used the Bingham system?
Any information that will help me from making any mistakes???

Sorry I can't help much with glass bows, I've played with a few. I noticed we live pretty close to each other. I'm over here in Overton, I'm in the phone book, maybe we can get together some time.

Yep, I bought that kgnarly looking stave from ya. It'll make a bow.  :bigsmyl:  Thanks again. So what size router bit did you use? It has to be a bit long huh? There aren't that many pattern cutting bits out there that are all that long.
