2021 what did you do today?

[Mad Max]

Waiting to see the full draw

[Pat B]

Those hooks are almost Duoflex hooks. 

[B-JS]

But it's to short to Work "right". They don't really Open Up
Need to build the 2.0 Version that i have one the drawing Board.
Got two Taper Strips in this... They still Not Open Like i want.
Bow and hooks need to be longer.

[Mad Max]

cut some off the tips for this one and see what it does.
2/3"?

[B-JS]

How should shortening IT make it better?
The lever has to be longer.

[Mad Max]

OK

[Longcruise]

'Specialy when it's overweight! 😀

Now that's a hooker for sure..
The yellow is Osage and some yellow dye in the wrap on the longbow and it came apart. With some KY. coffeebean veneers.

It’s a good feeling when a two piece comes apart like it should. My first one gave me a hard time until I cracked it over my knee. 🙂
When it finally let go, there was no indication of what held it together.

A dead blow hammer and lay the sleeve on the table and womp it on all sides usally works. I did have to sand the sides of the tenon. This one was a bit too tight.

[mmattockx]

Did result in slightly to high drawweight. 
70#@28" and thats a 50" bow 

Send it my way, I'll figure out how to draw a 70lb bow...

Looks great but that is stout.

Damn....

+1

That Coffee Bean wood is beautiful Never seen that before.
I have to admit when I read that post, I was pretty sure something to do with a hooker, came apart with KY

I would not have had that much deflex coming off the fades
So you have 2 tapers and it's still bending too much at the fades.
The lams need to be thicker coming out of the fades so they don't bend so much and help the hooks open up.
Let's say the tapers were .006 or .009 per inch, they would be thicker at the fades and thinner at the tips.
Or a long power wedge. Keep working at it
Stic has some T/D with LONG butt wedges to help get the hooks opened up.

50" NTN


STIFF hooks with a long TIP wedge will push on mid limb to keep it from bending so much but your hooks want to open up if you get your design working for you.
No deflex at all on this bow

[B-JS]

Well.
The 2.0 is planned different.
54"ish way longer hooks and Close to Zero deflex.
This one is like it is.

The bow below is a static, isnt it?

[Mad Max]

Yes

[Mad Max]

0,5mm 45/45 Carbon
0,8mm Glass

Kenny made me a sled like the super lam only the wedge is on the butt end. Not sure what the taper is on the wedge part but .001 forward after thebutt wedge. May help your recurve open up.

I started a bow blank with a phenolic riser with 1/4” Pao Ferro scales . Will have walnut veneers and cores . Will glue riser up today ...

[kennym]

Put overlays on 3 bow blanks I missed weight on last year , will finish em up I guess ...
