Osage Holmegård (fulldraw p.2)

<< < (4/10) > >>

Kviljo:
Of course not :)  But I think I have distributed the stress as evenly as I possibly can, with just a hint of bend in the outer narrower limbs.

Tillering is sooo easy with board-bows, but these stave-bows tend to give me some food for thought. But I think I have setteled down with the tiller it has got now.

Badger:
Kvillo, one thing I do and more is explained in the book, but if outer limbs are tiffer than normal as i might do in a holmgarde I would assign a slightly larger number for draw length, maybe 2" over actual, and if mid limb is bending more than usual I would assign a slighlty larger number to stiff handle area, maybe 2" more than actual. This will allow you some extra mass that you need on this design. Steve

George Tsoukalas:
Looks  very good so far. Jawge

Kviljo:
Ahh, I see. Maybe it's not that heavy after all. Good to hear!

You will have a chapter on the formula in TBB4?

Kviljo:
Suddenly and more quickly than I had expected. Here they are:









Here's the section where is goes from wide to narrow:



And a fulldraw.




Oh, and there's also my yew bow that I will make in 40 years time or so ;D
