Here's what I see...but I'm just a hack.

Second pic left limb stif from grip out nearly to mid limb...stiff tips.
Right limb...looks stiff from mid limb out...

JMHO

pretty much where I ended up Spark. We spent so much time with things stiff...and strung trying to figure this one out that we stand net reflex at almost zero directly after unstringing. and that is with 6 inches to go yet. Guess I still have a lot to learn. Chris is currently loosening up the tips and midlimbs abit...we are starting to get scared.

this thing will be at the very limits of sinew I think. At full draw she will be bent over like a noodle. A 28" draw will be EXACTLY half the length of this little bow.

...start the betting pool...the coach is starting to feel like he would rather be skiing.

Hey Cal...Ya got a heat gun to flip tha tips a bit...shouldn't hurt the sinew to much if ya keep the heat on da belly...might be worth a last ditch effort. Might protect the sinew with foil er sumpin.

alright. a nice red for this bow methinks, perhpas a nice merlot.

we are trying to figure out where to take the next couple inches...tips I guess. that string is gonna end up at 90 degree angle...if we are LUCKY haha. anything over 90 degrees and I am getting out the bike helmets. heck, I will bring out the roll cage and the 4 point harness.

:D

I am no expert but I think now would be a good time to employ some serious power tools. Perhaps a belt sander or something that really hogs off wood fast. :D

that wood is working pretty hard, hey.

Madpigslayer · « **Reply #113 on:** February 06, 2005, 10:12:00 PM »

...I hear the tiller tree...I better run down and see whuz happenin.

Dano · « **Reply #114 on:** February 06, 2005, 10:14:00 PM »

Looks like all that needs to bend is the tips, your deffinately using every inch of limb. :D

Timo · « **Reply #115 on:** February 06, 2005, 10:17:00 PM »

Calvin,not sure how much ya got left to go,but you are gonna have to use all the wood that you got to get 28".Tips included.

She's got a nice bend,but still seems a bit flat right out of the handle(right side) in the last pic.You get that working,and then looks like the tips are next.

You got her going on girl!

boy wonder is down to his last 20 minutes of availiable time. Not a time to rush, but I can feel the tension in the air downthere. He wants it done...if he speeds up too fast, I will have to try and talk him into waiting until next week to finish her up...how you think will go over?!!!

frankb · « **Reply #117 on:** February 06, 2005, 10:28:00 PM »

woooo hooo!!!

You had me worried there for a minute.

Glad to hear that tiller tree wasn't workin all by itself... 'cause that wouldda been a bad thing.
