I was afraid that was your hand in the picture and you had really short fingers... The bow is looking good though.

Wayne,
You better spend a couple of dayz in beautifull downtown PincherCreek next time you are out west and we'll spend a little time in the string making department :eek:
I can't believe you skipped that class and ended up in the advanced bow building one

How'd you do that??
Looking good my friend, can't wait to see her strung.
Bert

Whatever puts you in the bow building mood, buddy :D
More than once I've gotten up, put the coffee on, and then gone down to the basement to do a little scraping on a bow. In my underwear

Who am I to judge? :D

thanks michael, with the very narrow /deep tips- i really want to stabilise them as much as possible

fujimo · « **Reply #74 on:** January 24, 2015, 12:38:00 PM »

have it braced at 7 1/4", with 1/8" positive tiller on the bottom limb.( bottom limb on the left)

only problem is that its #70 @ 28

so for the next one i will be breaking out BJansens stack calculator :D . i knew this was a trial run- so now i have a starting point- good!

drawnto about 15"

man the bend on these things is pretty scary

drawn to about 24"

what do you guys think - this is my first recurve- does anything need to change with the bend/ tiller
thanks

fujimo · « **Reply #75 on:** January 24, 2015, 12:42:00 PM »

sorry- edited!

monterey · « **Reply #76 on:** January 24, 2015, 02:35:00 PM »

That is kinda scary at 24"! Made me step back from the screen.

Mad Max · « **Reply #77 on:** January 24, 2015, 02:43:00 PM »

7 1/4" brace is where you need to be.
Looks good to me
pull it to 28"

How thick are the cores

Mad Max · « **Reply #78 on:** January 24, 2015, 03:01:00 PM »

70#

Did you check the width every inch down the limbs?

timbermoose · « **Reply #79 on:** January 24, 2015, 03:56:00 PM »

How does it look at 28-29? What's the length?
