Faux bow trade 2022
Black Moshannon:
I got my piece strung today and tillered to 43 pounds at 26". It has 1/2" of reflex immediately after being unstrung. My goal with this is to have a light between 40 and 45 pounder to play with when im ready to start shooting again in mid April. Next im going to do another small heat treat on the belly and see if I can drop some weight and get the handle area moving a little more. Its currently weighing 13 oz.

Man you are cruising along Kenneth, that's a super light bow!

Yea it’s an easy one, going to be good for getting my form into shape once I get back to shooting. Hopefully I can get the mass weight down to 11 oz and keep the rested reflex at 1 1/2, that’s where it’s at now.

Just to keep this rolling and to show I am actually working on a bow along with all the other stuff taking up my time, these are formed maple lams I will be gluing into static recurve tips along with the forms I am using. The tighter radius form on the left was used to pre-bend these close to the final radius. The form on the right is the glue up form.
Glue up pics to follow when I find a few minutes to set it up and get it done.

Right on, I was just thinking about this thread the other day but I haven't finished my garage yet so I can work on anything. Glad to see you doing some bow work
