What the heck did I do
« on: March 09, 2015, 04:51:00 PM »
Ok, so I picked up a bow I was working on some time ago. Not sure where I left off so am taking slow. Measured it to see what I had and found that one limb is 33 1/2" while the other limb is 32 1/2". Not sure what I was thinking as I usually do symmetrical limbs. It has glued on tips so I don't want to cut it. It is a hickory pyramid design 2" at fades tapering to 1/2" tips. The back is also trapped.
How should I proceed in filleting this. Should I make the limbs bend evenly and designate the long limb to the top or bottom? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm scared of all the whooping he has threatened me with, so I humor him
