2024 What did you do today

[dbeaver]

here is the profile of one limb its mirrored.  room for tips to be thinned down with accordance to how much the tips are working by the end of tiller.

a small morning session of balancing thickness from side to side throughout the limb, deepening nocks and heating tips and handle for better string alignment, not perfect but after i get it full brace ill have a better idea. I believe im ready for a regular string on this bow. Looks like itll be a recurve with baby hooks folks we will see at final tiller.

Looking good. Them curves can be a bit tricky.

Nice!!

[Pat B]

Looking real good. 
 Low brace now would be a good idea to see how the string tracks and see how the limbs bend on their own. If everything lines up and the limbs are balanced go to your intended brace height, check it out to full draw and take a few shots.

Put some hair on cow hide on the shelf of a old York Cadet and made myself a string jig.

 I cut out the belly profile on 14 new risers for my version of the '59 Kodiak, both 60 and 64 inches, and the '60 Bear Kodiak Deluxe. I recently made a trip to Edensaw lumber in Pt. Townsend, WA and bought 3 great boards...one of curly Maple, one of figured Black Limba, and a third, a highly figured large slab of Maple. The limb veneers are all done...ready for risers. Now I'll begin the process of gluing on the riser trim, like the Purpleheart trim on the original '59 Kodiaks.

Here's a photo of the boards I made the risers from.

That wood looks awesome Richard - That is going to make a nice batch of bows.
I know you don't take orders - how does one get on your "list".

Roughed out a 21" ILF yesterday evening.
Bocote/Phenolic.
That will be pretty pretty, once finished.

Phenolic?   G-10?  Micarta?

[B-JS]

Micarta

[Kirkll]

Those interesting limb mount plates. Where did you get those at? and are they adjustable side to side?  Most ILF risers have lateral limb adjustment capability for adjusting for limb tracking using set screws.

They are ajustable.

Those are milled by my specs for me.
