My horn bow build-a-long
DC:
OK here ya go, can you see behind my hand in the first pic how much more the "eye" is bending compared to the next pic when it's on the peg. The same shows on the third and forth pic only not as much. I'm thinking that when I get it braced the left eye will be bending quite a bit more than the right. Leverage. I don't think the pegs allow the true shape to show. That's why I drilled the outer holes.
DC:
Does this pencil mark look about right for the nock? It's 7 cm from the the kasan tip bend apex.
DC:
Here's one with the pegs in the outer position. It's quite different and kind of unnerving.
I'm thinking I have to scrape at the red marks. Just in between the weak spots on the left limb and more or less the whole thing on the right
bownarra:
Before I comment on the tiller. Could you measure the limb thicknesses every 5cm on both limbs and post what you've got.
WhistlingBadger:
It is so cool watching this unfold (quit literally!) DC. Thanks for sharing your process. It's fascinating.
