--- Quote from: GregB on April 03, 2007, 07:41:03 pm ---Marius, I havn't applied Badgers mass formula to this bow. I was just striving to get to make a workable bow hopefully with decent weight. The flaws in the wood forced the direction I took with the bow. I would like to learn more about Badgers technique though...

greg, i meant comparing the outcome with the theory. i did the calculations based on the data you provided and came it came out to 15.5 ounces, plus the weight of the skins, wraps and overlays. it would be interesting to see where your bow stands, simply because it came out so narrow.
DanaM:
dang it everyone else has already said what I would have said.
Sometimes the school of hard knocks is the best way to learn and it appears that you have learned much from that
lil bit of Osage. She's a beauty. Keep em comin eh.

GregB:
Thanks alot for all the great comments everyone! I must put Pappy at the top of that group of bowyers that I've learned from. If I have any tillering abilities at all, I've learned the most of them from Pappy.
Marius, if we can come up with an accurate scale, I'll weigh her.
Rich, nope I'm not the first...guilty of coping PatB's idea.
Thanks alot Manny and Shannon, you guys make beautiful bows, I appreciate your feedback! No Shannon, I've looked a couple of times, and havn't found any yet in an area at the club that usually has them.
PatB, I'll keep that in mind this fall. Never had that problem with rattler backed bows, but maybe the copperhead might be different.
Ryano:
That came out really nice Greg. I wont lie to you though, I like full length skins better, but I know sometimes you gota work with what you got. Nice Job on a hard stave, good save on the cracks and every thing.
