Holmegaard build along

So, from the 1.5" working limb, the profile will fade over 2" to 1", then to 1/2" at the distal end of the limb.

All marks, so far, are pencil.
So, with these dimensions of handle, and outer limb, we end up with 16" inner working limbs.

Once I've drawn out all lines in pencil, I'll go back over the outer profiles with a sharpie. This will give me a good non-fading line for cutting with the bandsaw.

Final review:
66" OAL. 4" handle. 2" fade to 1.5" wide inner working limb, 2" fade to 1" outer limb, ending in 1/2" pin nock.
1/16" is taken off each edge of the pin nock, also, to provide a shoulder for the string. More on that later.
Next step... making some saw dust with the bandsaw. Wanna see a pic of my new baby? Well, it's not that new. I've had it just about a year.
Craftsman Professional bandsaw, 1 HP, 14". I'm in love. If you buy a saw, make it a good one. If you buy a cheapie, you'll kick yourself until you get a good one.

Some completely unrelated side news... I live in Western Canada, and it's been COLD here lately. How cold? Last night it was -41C. Two nights ago, it was -37C with a 30k/hr wind, making it -51C with the windchill!! Yes, that's NOT a typo... -51C. How cold is that? Exposed flesh freezes in less than 30 secs, and if you go outside and take a piss, it freezes before it hits the ground!! (Just kidding!!). But, it is damn cold!! Global warming... what a bunch of bunk! It's hard to describe -50 if you haven't experienced it... let's just say... it hurts!
