HHB Warbow: A build along

<< < (4/10) > >>

Ian.:
That is coming around really nice, is it holding all it's reflex up to this point?

Marc St Louis:
No it has lost some reflex.  It has a bit more than 1" of reflex after taking it down but that bounces back up to more than 2" after an hour or so.  Makes it interesting to brace

Badger:
  You have a great eye for tiller Mark, those long bows are so hard to brace I wince just thinking about it.

Marc St Louis:
Thanks Steve.  I made myself a jig for bracing these bows several years ago so it's not hard at all as I just use my weight to brace them.  You do have to have a good hold of these reflex bows though otherwise they twist in the hand and that can be nasty.

FAW:
Hi, Marc

One of your former students following along - looks great so far. I have managed to turn what would have been a Warbow into a (now) youth bow, after getting one end a little too thin. Very interesting Marc, and thanks.
