Timo:
I’ve worked it quite a bit today and she is showing some fatigue. The right limb just won’t seem to give. I’ve reduced the limb width considerable, and it’s still stiff. Here it sets at 22” pulling 38#. I got some room to squelch with.
The unbraced profile shows that she wants to be a reflex/deflex,mostly because of the stress that the outers are putting on the inners. Kinda like belly buttons?
Gonna do a heat treatiing session on those inners to give them some strength,(or at least try) .We will see.

FlintWalker:
That looks plum good!
Timo:
This wood yield well to sharp tools, and to dry heat, so I figured I’d go ahead and heat the belly up and try to stiffen up the inner thirds.
It turned into a purple haze! Reminds me of potassium permanganate? you'd of thought that I reached outside and grabbed a handful of poke berries and give it a swipe? Cept they ain't near ripe yet.:)
Gonna rain all night so I will leave it for a while outside under the carport to rehydrate.
More tomorrow.
