weak fade on sinew osage bow.
superdav95:
Just a thought here. But what about backing it with bamboo strip. You could still do a sinew layer or two on the boo back after as well. I’m in the process of this now myself with a bow actually. This would beef up your fades. I would maybe retiller to just past brace after the boo back. Then add sinew after and finish up tiller. This would get you the draw you are looking for. Best of luck with the build.

Pat I think he is trying to get 33 inches of draw,,
bassman211:
Pat, I need the length. Dave I already have one layer of sinew on the back. Brad I am going to wrap with sinew at the fades. This is his first bow, so I am doing all I can to save it, but what a mess. thanks guys.
Pat B:
In that case I would get both limbs bending together then add a belly lam. The hinge is the weakest portion of the limbs so you will have to get the limbs to that weight first then add the belly lam and retiller to weight.
