Let’s build something crazy! Ash Wing Bow (EXPLODED)
RyanY:
Flyonline, That's interesting! Can't say I know much about wing design but it's cool to know that it has some resemblance!
Thanks for following everyone! Got a little more work in on the bow. After drawing out the feather shapes I started with the short ones. I use a round hacksaw blade to cut into the space between the peaks. I then use a carving knife to remove the rest. Just rough carving for now. I cut the longer feathers out on the bandsaw.
RyanY:
I am hoping to chamfer/round all the edges of the feathers for a cleaner look. To start I'm using my carving knife again to chamfer the edges. It's going to be quite a bit of work to get between the feathers so I'll have to figure out a system and make sure I'm being patient. ;D I have cut myself a couple times with this knife trying to do some other carving work so being extra cautious with this project. :o I got the tips clean enough to at least string this thing up! Barely got it there with my B50 tillering string given it stretches a ton. Tiller isn't bad but definitely have some limb asymmetry in terms of strength. At least for a short time it was a bow!
Mad Max:
I have about 20 of these little files (6") some of them only cut on the wide sides Not on the edges.

Wow. Just checked this build out! I now have in my head, "All I know is something like a bird within her sang." "Birdsong" would be a great name for that beauty. Very cool.

What a work of art. Looking forward to seeing where you take it from here. Truly inspiring.
