My horn bow build-a-long
DC:
OK the real limbs are bent. It went very well I think, can't see any cracks. Time will tell. Now I have to wait a week. Not good at that ;D
bownarra:
Perfect :)
DC:
Thanks ;D ;D
DC:
How do you know where the apex of the kasan bend/eye is? I've looked through Adam's book and I can't find it. In the two bows he gives the measurements for he says where the kasan/tip bend is but nothing for the kasan eye.
bownarra:
You establish your thickness taper so that the thinnest point is maybe 5 cm before (sal side) the apex. The apex is the middle/ highest spot of the curve :)
Take a photo of your core lathes, mark where you think it should be and I'll tell you if you are right :)
