I decide to use cow bone at the first,but the bone I have just not wide enough,may be next time. white part is phenolic.

Even though just finish one string nock,but like to see what this gray bow look like.

test pull,i guess it is about 55~60#,need tiller down.

Hera,

How do you determine the amount of taper to put into the limbs? Do you use a template of some sort or do you just eyeball it so the tips look good?

THanks

Hera thats some awesome craftsmanship. I dont know how you use that hand saw the way you do.

MI bowhunter

no template,just eyeball check,rough tiller at first.when you order bow meterial,you should know what draw weight you need,for example,I need 45~55#,so my order is (0.050 glass x 2)+(0.050wood core x 2).

outstanding !!!!!!

The saw must be thin and sharp.
actionwood are not very hard, grain straight,so, if you cut vertically,it is very easy,if you cut parallel,awry is impossible,but parallel cut is hard work.

This is my first attempt to build inlay string nock.

Hera,

Sorry for the confusion, by taper I guess I meant width not thickness of the limbs.

At what point in the limb do you start narrowing to get to the width needed for the limb tips?

Thanks

Beautiful tips there.Incredible!

Yes,I mean width.

I never builded a bow in thickness taper.(I only builded about 8~9 bows)

You can get bow width shape blueprint from bow supplies company,but I just rough tiller instinctively,not final tiller.

I think this is the most interesting build-along we have had, looks like you are almost done, nice work. I like your Padauk floor also. Bue--.

You have a great eye for detail and beauty. Lines of the bow, limb butt overlays shape, tip overlays all lovely. Very nice work.
