<< < (2/8) > >>

George Tsoukalas:
If it were my bow and such a short stave I would try to get more bending near the fades. Jawge

lowell:
Thanks GregB and George, I think taking some from the fades and especially  the fade on the right side may make it come to wieght and make the tiller better.

  Still thinking about heating and straightening right side some as suggested by Pat.

  All comments make me think more about it. (Outside of my box)!!!!!    Thanks guys!!!

Again, yes bend more in the at least the right fade. Yep, I can see that it is very thick in that area. Good looking bow, can't wait to see it done. :)

Pappy:
I would probably heat and reflex the right limb some but be careful if that is a knot at the right
fade,sometimes they will split up at the handle if you put to much pressure on them trying
to get the hump out,so go easy.Sometime you just have to live with it.Is it thick at the right fade because of a knot? :)

lowell:
There is not a knot at the snakey area, I think I was being extra
careful at that area and did not take enough wood. It also seems to have some propeller twist in that area (twists one direction then back in that short area).

 Wanted to try something that gave me different challanges... think I found it.

  Would it be best to heat it straight before I take some wood from that thick right fade??
