Well they say the best lessons are expensive lessons. I built a new form and this was to be my first bow off this form. Although I checked and double checked I still ended up reversing my belly taper.

I was really looking forward to finishing this bow out. Who doesn’t love Osage?

I write butt end on all lams, left and right too

you can save that riser with some work, very careful work at the fades

Sorry Bro... I feel your pain... Double triple, check and make a checklist... Label the ends of your lams...

Some bows have been made with reverse tapers, why not put a string on it and see how it bends?
21 century longbows was made like that and according to Norbert Mullaney an excellent one.

KennyM and Mad Max suggested saving the riser. I think I’m going to try that and just start over

Man that sucks..

Flem · « **Reply #7 on:** August 31, 2020, 12:24:40 PM »

That does suck!

No way to make it work? Looks to be a pain in the a$$ either way.
Would not hurt to shape the limbs little and see how they bend, if your going to trash them anyways.

Could be a new discovery that shoots 250 feet per second and always hits the bulls eye, or not

My Treadway mild R/D has reversed tapered lams in the limbs.

Bvas · « **Reply #10 on:** August 31, 2020, 07:36:58 PM »

What taper rate is the belly lam?

And what is the back lam? Taper also?

Dannon · « **Reply #11 on:** August 31, 2020, 09:02:41 PM »

Bvas, the back taper is .002 and the belly is .001

Bvas · « **Reply #12 on:** August 31, 2020, 09:36:55 PM »

Well heck, ya still got .001 taper overall.
I’m with the others. I’d profile the limbs and see what ya got before stripping them off. Maybe start your profile a little further off the fades to help stiffen the inner limbs.

Bvas · « **Reply #13 on:** August 31, 2020, 09:38:22 PM »

That’s assuming ya screwed up both belly lams.

Dannon · « **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2020, 10:01:04 PM »

Lol! No only one of the belly lams are screwed up

Bvas · « **Reply #15 on:** August 31, 2020, 10:14:51 PM »

Well....,In that case.....,

Buemaker · « **Reply #16 on:** September 01, 2020, 06:45:41 AM »

Oops, I see, not much to do then.

If you are going to screw up, at least do a complete job of it
