Mike, you said that the bow should be near aor at fully tillered before recurving the tips.
wont this effect tiller?or are you only bending the non working section at the tips?
yazoo:
I am usually only bending the tips,,but It will probablly mess with tiller,, and may need some work after the recurves are put in,, but our main concern at that point is thinning the tips as near as possiable to finished thickness , to prevent cracking while we are bending tips,, the recurves may need to be tweeeked form side to side,,each one comes out alittle different,,once the limbs are recurved the hard part is over,,
yazoo:
yazoo:
above is the bow with both tips recurved and ready to turn in to a bow,, any questions anyone has I will try to answer ,,or anything else they would like to see, I will try my best to explain,, I would like to see how everyone else does there straightening,,please feel free to add to this, all of us are capable of learning, mike
