Profile of a pyramid bow - flat or tapered

[DaveMac]

Hi guys I hope you can help. I'm in the process of making my first bow. Unfortunately I've had an accident with the bandsaw when cutting the profile to 5/8 I have made an uneven cut so one side dips to 1/2 approximately 7" from the tip of one limb.
So as I see it I have 2 options cut the profile of the limbs down to 1/2 inch, or keep the fades at 5/8 and taper down to 3/8 of an inch at the tips.

So which is best?

bow is 70" TtT, 1" 7/8 wide at fades tapering to 1/2 inch at tip.

What wood?

Ash

Tiller the bow out and it wont matter. The side to side thickness will catch up.

What weight are you after?

[DaveMac]

I was hoping for about 30 lb at 28"

[Roy from Pa]

1/2 inch is fine for 30 pounds.

[John Scifres]

Agreed.

[PEARL DRUMS]

Is 30# your true target? Or are you accepting 30# due to the band saw slip?

[DaveMac]

Yeah 30lb would be great. I only started archery in July so I'm only on 30lb limbs so far.

Most of my bows, up to 65#, have limbs 1/2" thick or less.  You have plenty of wood for 30#.
