Just Another Bow
Justin Snyder:
I don't know what is causing the frets, but there aren't any hinges. I see perfect tiller. Well the bottom limb might bend a little less than the top, but the bending looks great. Justin
DanaM:
Thanks Justin, I've made a few of these ash bows with no frets yet, I can't explain the frets except by way of subtle hinges.
cowboy:
Seems like I can see a little something right at the fade on the bottom limb, like it's bending a tad more there than the top limb. But I can't detect anything on the top limb - not that I would know, but if you have frets - is the back right? I hesitate to ask - cause obviously you know how to build a bow.
DanaM:
cowboy its a board bow with linen backing, the grain is fairly straight has some run offs but the linen should keep the back together.
I'm new at this also, I believe Jawge doesn't like ash because it frets perhaps he will chime in and shed some light. The frets are small(for now)
perhaps they won't get any worse. The bow shoots well with no hand shock so I can't complain to much eh.
Badger:
Tiller looks good, nothing to be ashamed of for sure, sometimes a bow just doesn't work out for a bad piece of wood. Steve
