Have heard of Chastain but never seen one. This limb design is sort of borrowed with my changes.

interesting limb shape...

reminds me of a limb that was actually computer generated/optimized in the modeling app I use.

Got a riser for the first heavy weight limbs for my body builder buddy.

That's nice and I like that limb design coming off the riser...

Gots a little shape to it today. Get the limbs pulling straight Monday. This one should come in 60@28. I am not real crazy about the lines of this riser but it sure fits the hand nice sooo

I like that riser shape.

Well just crap. I got these limbs pulling good. I leave the tape on until I sand the glass to avoid scratches etc.
I found an unwanted surprise. Out of the hundreds of the bows I have built never had this before. The only thing I can figure is the bamboo was marginal on layup. About 1/16th wide and full of glue. I am thinking it may not be a problem.
what you guys think?? Gonna be a field tester bow.

If it's solid it should be fine I think.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #169 on:** March 08, 2021, 04:21:50 PM »

It otta be ok.

Got a 55# D/R with osage veneers that did that from the glue moving when I pressed it. It's fine, first split limb D/R I ever built...

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #171 on:** March 09, 2021, 07:22:45 AM »

Cool I will just call it my split limb curve then!

Kenny does osage keep its color under clear glass

kennym · « **Reply #173 on:** March 09, 2021, 10:14:32 AM »

Finish with uv protection may help but mine darkened up

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #174 on:** March 22, 2021, 07:21:26 PM »

had a bit of group therapy today. This design is pretty sweet.

Keep it in a bow sock when not using, it can stay that way for a long time

Yep, or if you like the darker color, set it in the sun unstrung of course.

I have done that to a couple at the patio door...

The bright yellar sticks out in the woods like a sore.......... thumb I guess.

Good shooting Mike.

I love the looks of the bow too.

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #178 on:** March 23, 2021, 07:09:24 PM »

Thx Roy.
An idea if you want your wood to stay yellow is yellowheart.

Hmmmmm...
