recurve shooter:
wit my limited knowledge of bowmakeing i can say that u got your tiller nearly perfect, your knockwork is exelent, and that is a hell of a draw weight.
akila:
Yess the tiller looks perfect...but i would realy love to know what thicknes have the bow at the handle,mid-limb and noks area.....thks .....i wanna try to make a bow like this and it will be helfuul to have an ideea of what dimension should i have in the handle, in the mid limb and to the nok or to the tips....i hope you can remeber this dimesnion and maybe send me a replay...thks in advance...
Hrothgar:
Sag congrats. That's quite a bow, excellent tiller and beautiful horn tips. Ash has become my favorite wood, but I'm a looong way from 90#. Are the top and bottom limbs the same length, or do you make the upper longer?

sagitarius boemoru:
Akila : its something like 34X27 mm at middle tapering to 18 mm tips (original taper) and then there is secondray taper something like 18 cm from each tip down to 11 mm nocks. The ash has SG around 0.85. Hope it helps.
Hrotgar : when I lay this out I start making bow perfectly symetrical and with alot of more wood then needed. That assures that I have to actually struggle to get the weight down, rather than ending underweight. As I tiler I observe properties of limbs and chose the one with weaker wood as upper. Then I position bowyers mark and arrowpass 1´´ up from geometricall middle of the lenght of the bow and adjust for slightly positive tiler at the end.
I have made 120# bow from the same wood, though with tiler not so nice.
