Hey guys.
I'm trying to make a board bow for my son. I'm using red oak (I know, I know. It's not the best stuff)and it is 48" ttt. It fades in thickness from 3/4 inch at the center to 1/4 at the tips.
At those dimensions, this thing just wont bend. It would be way to heavy of a draw for a 60lb boy.
So my question is: Any suggestions on what thickness I can aim for? I'm worried the board will fail if I go much thinner.
Thank you all in advance
