Shot some limbs off of a new form today. I had a small flat spots in the old one that bothered me. The new ones turned out perfect. Started shaping these two. Got to get limbs started for them.

Bue, looking good.

Risers look great.

On the tiller tree for the first time, just roughly shaped.
58 pounds at 28, need to lose a few pounds, This one have a compound taper, a .002 forward taper that goes into a .004 reverse taper.

At 22 inch draw.

At 28 inch draw, I think string angle looks pretty good.

I figured you would find glee in this. :rolleyes:

My bow scale only goes up to 75#. I'm calculating the bow is about 99# @28". Going to call it "Brutus". Got no idea what to do with it. :confused:

The unintended lefty is finishing into a real nice bow. Gonna be right around 45# @28".

Nice looking bow there Bue,Montery I might be able to get 1 pull on your bow and then a trip to the chiropractor , bet its fast !

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #171 on:** February 08, 2018, 05:10:00 AM »

Very nice, Bue.

BMorv · « **Reply #172 on:** February 08, 2018, 09:27:00 AM »

That's some quality work Bue! Very nice.

I wanted to get in one more bow before I work on my swap bow. This is an all wood tri lam experiment using only laminates from Kenny. Hickory/maple/osage. I have 11 hrs in this bow so far. I didn't realize how much time I spend preparing the lams and backing when I do it all myself. I would be at around 30+ hrs right now if doing my own lams with a bamboo backing.

Roy, I'm not sure where to find someone to shoot it :eek:

But, can you explain more about your reverse tapers and why? How does that layup differ from a conventional single .002 taper?

Bmorv, that's a pretty and elegant piece of work. What is the backing on it?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #175 on:** February 08, 2018, 04:07:00 PM »

Looks nice, Ben..

BMorv · « **Reply #176 on:** February 08, 2018, 04:25:00 PM »

Thanks Roy and Monterey.
The backing is hickory spliced together. It's the 1st time I used a spliced backing. Worked out nice.

Repaired my tillering tree with a Kevlar rope after the old one broke while the bow was drawn. Now I can get back to business!

Buemaker · « **Reply #178 on:** February 08, 2018, 05:22:00 PM »

Monterey. I have a sled that grinds a laminate that will have a .002 forward taper and then goes into a .004 reverse taper. In this bow the reverse taper starts 7 inches from the string notch in order to make the tips stiffer. Not as much as a static tip, but will make a better string angle.

BMorv · « **Reply #179 on:** February 08, 2018, 05:35:00 PM »

Bue, so the reverse taper takes the place of a tip wedge?
