2022 what did you do today?

[Longcruise]

Here's a few pics. Not much to see yet but I'm about ready to start reducing the limbs and get them bending.

I'm kinda excited about this.  Been craving more ever since Bue posted.

A little sacrilege along with this but id like to do a glass lam bow in this flavor.   Probably just another one of my rabbit holes!

Mark posted this drawing and it's what I was using for a model. I think he got the dimensions from what Bue posted and I think Mark made a glass version or he was talking about it.

[Mad Max]

No I was wanting to make a selfbow, Osage is all I have.

So, if I'm interpreting the photo correctly it is 5" wide at  the widest?  Or, are these in cm?

[Longcruise]

Yeah,  I see it now.  Gotta be cm 🤙

[Pat B]

My mistake, Mark. It would work with osage but elm, hickory, HHB or hackberry would be better.

I think I'll start another thread for this bow. Don't want to hog this thread.

Got to go to the club for awhile yesterday. Took both bows and wanted to compare the differences in riser windows. The one on the right is not cut as far to center and has a shorter window.  After shooting both, I have to go back in and make the window on the right match the left.  Then I will make a template for window/shelf cut out. Also add the back overlays on the one bow and it will be done.

You can take it up into the limb butt wedge

Your doing a fine job too

[Appalachian Hillbilly]

If you look closely , the one in the front is. Completely covered. It is I beamed also ,so that hides the I beam as well

this totally something new cause the wedges on the other latest thing were a pain to make. so i flattened the pad and and added a bit of hook basically same limb shape. anyhow am using a st. taper wedge 11 in. maybe 16 in.working limb.
seems pretty peepy sofar.

[Mad Max]

Nice bend stic

[Crooked Stic]

Thx Max. On another forum some said the tips looked stiff. Duh kinda how I planned it.

On another forum some said the tips looked stiff.

 

The bend and string angle look excellent. Is that at 28" draw? How long is it?


Mark

[Crooked Stic]

Yes 28 and 61 in. Bow

[BO-R]

looks like a static tip, any tip wedges?
what is the taper rate?

[Crooked Stic]

No forward taper. No wedges. No FT keeps the tips stiff.

[Mad Max]

The smaller the radius on the recurve the closer it gets to being static and the thickness too.

[Buggs]

Dang Stic! Your shop looks clean and organized   I'm envious, I can't take more than three steps in any direction, before I have to go sideways or jump

[Roy from Pa]

Looking nice Stickypops.

[Crooked Stic]

Thx Roy.
Organized somewhat. Always seems the floor needs cleaning.
