New project
DC:
Sleek- I make all my bows right around 40# so I can shoot them. :D It's 62" TTT at the moment. Not a shorty by any means. I may take an inch off the tips depending on how much reflex I end up with.
Pat and Leon_ it will be a tri-lam but one of the lams will be tung oil ;D ;D I guess that would make it a quad lam.
Ben- I'm planning on gluing a little reflex in when the maple goes on.
simk:
Nice project DC and fast progress.

In fact not so complicated/scientific. Read about moelles in the www and found a discussion on paleo planet where somebody suggested the 13/17 ratio. Seemed reasonable to me for a first try.
Looking forward to see that bow next week ;D ;D
Cheers
DC:
It just makes you wonder, what an oddball set of numbers. There must be some kind of reasoning behind it. Is that actual measurement or is it a ratio? This one will be about 13" working and 14" lever. I've never made a Molle before so I'm on dangerous ground.
DC:
Simk-Could you tell me the dimensions of the levers on the Molle you posted the other day. It's mostly the width and thickness I'm interested in. I'm getting a little chicken looking at this ;D ;D
DC:
Before I get ahead of myself I'm wondering if I should beef up the transition from limb to lever like in the picture but both sides? The reason there is no taper there is that the recurves were just a trial I had kicking around and now I'm wondering if that is going to be a weak spot.
