Hickory Sioux replica build along

<< < (7/11) > >>

Kegan:
Hickory doesn't seem to gain as much reflex with sinew as other bows. I wouldn't worry too much about it. As for the deflex, I would bring the limbs back to straight about 3-4" in front of the handle or so, not counting the recurves

1/2primitive:
Thanks, Kegan.      I took it off the form instead of waiting for tomorrow, and it was holding almost 8" of reflex. I don't think that the extra wait was necessary.
If I have time, I will deflex the limbs tomorrow.

That's lookin pretty good now Sean :). I don't have any input on this one (seeing as how I've never attempted anything like that) - but am very interested now how It'll turn out. Good luck - keep posting your outcome's :).

El Destructo:
Well it's a far cry from the Souix Bow I thought you started out to build.....but it is looking really good.....is this what you are shooting for???



Looks familiar!!


I made a full Length Jig for Mine....and bent it all at once....worked great

1/2primitive:
Yes, it is, but I think that this one will suit me better, and I'm more excited about it now.  ;D
Yep, that's what I'm going for, but with a little more reflex. That jig makes me think that all my work was for naught! :-[ :)

Thanks, Paul.
