Lookin good Travis!!

I’m either gonna cut my victims bow to 58” or make a set of pink

phenolic limb pad wedges to get the string off the limbs. When you strum the string it rattles on the limbs a bit...

Dang Kenny never seen pink phenolic before that will be cute tho.

Have you tried raising the brace a bit??

What are you not liking about Kenny? I was liking the looks of it.

kennym · « **Reply #108 on:** February 21, 2020, 08:15:39 PM »

Not enough preload to keep quiet . I have to build different riser or limbs ...

Kenny, what if you took your limb mounting hardware out filled the holes and glued a piece to the pads. Then you could change your pad angle. Not sure if it would be worth the effort. Could probably just make a wedge and glue it on the pad and still use the hardware depending on how many degrees you need. Could make some wedges just to see how she acts with a little less pad angle.

kennym · « **Reply #110 on:** February 21, 2020, 08:53:15 PM »

We think alike. Already made wedges and flattened angle. Not gonna be enough . So prob make new riser and get them the way I want em

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #111 on:** February 21, 2020, 09:39:30 PM »

What angle are your pads now?

well, i sent my zebrawood board to the lovely and talented Mr. Kenny. After he checks it out and determines what can be done with it, we'll see if i use it for this swap or decide to go another direction.

Pads were 18, was copying (gasp) a known bow for this one but now doing what I shoulda done first. Measure six times cut once!!

kennym · « **Reply #114 on:** February 22, 2020, 01:31:52 PM »

Tim the pic of that board made me drool a little!!

I've settled on 13* pads for it. Will see...

Where the limbs on the old riser floppy or pretty stable?

kennym · « **Reply #116 on:** February 22, 2020, 01:56:29 PM »

Not real floppy, just no preload to speak of. Not sure why I didn't see that. Brain gas I reckon...

Ah well, maybe I'll make a recurve with that riser someday...

Mailman brought me a tube with some scraps in it today. Not sure if they're useable though. You guys think I can salvage these somehow?

Crooked Stic · « **Reply #118 on:** February 22, 2020, 05:30:50 PM »

Naw just send them veneers here. Then you can use that wrinkly paper for your veneers. be sure to get plenty of glue on them tho..

EvilDogBeast · « **Reply #119 on:** February 22, 2020, 05:39:03 PM »

You know, I considered ironing those rags before taking that picture

I will definitely be using an absurd amount of glue on this one
