Proper handle design for a D bow

<< < (8/8)

jpitts:
My wife's real helpful like that too....especially with my magazine arrivals.....doggone it....
Thanks George, I ran into that with my last bow.....guess I favor one side too. Luckily I caught it by noticing the feathering of the rings and the way the tips were moving on the tiller. Now I use my calipers more  ;D

Pat B:
When I'm working from the vise on my work bench I have a tendency to remove more wood from the right side. I guess it's because the bench is on the left and in the way. On the shaving horse I'm pretty consistent.   Pat

DanaM:
So as long as the string crosses thru the handle everythings fine?
Lets say the tip of the top limb is to the left of the handle and the tip of
the bottom limb is to the right, but the string crosses right thru the handle.
Is that ok then? Especially fer a character bow.

George Tsoukalas:
Yes, that often happens with a bow that has a propellor twist much like Aerobow on my site. Jawge
