Am relatively new to building bows. Made a number for the grandkids (17-18# @ 20") and a 37# @ 26" heartwood hickory for myself. All board bows.
Now working on a maple board bow. 53" ttt, 1 3/4" @ fades tapering out of fades to 1/2" tips. Glue-on recurve tips.
Grain of one limb is very straight. Grain on other limb ... not so much.
Back.
Belly.
Have a couple family members in mind for this bow. In one case the objective would be 30# @ 26" and, in the other, 24# @ 24".
Given the shortness of the limbs and grain runoff on one limb, are either of these objectives reasonable?
Am much in need of input from ya'll having more experience than I!!
