How thin would you carve tips?

(1/3) > >>

stuckinthemud:
For a flat bow or slightly flipped tips design, what is the absolutely thinnest you would take the tips?  I have split a sliver from a stave, the sliver is plenty enough for a nice bow but as it has run out to nothing, what thickness tip should I cut it back to when I rough it out

bradsmith2010:
thin is ok,, just tie on a nock,,

mmattockx:
Are you talking about width or thickness? Thickness should be determined by the tiller requirements, width can be chosen.

bownarra:
3/8ths to 7/16ths.

Gordon:
3/8" at the nock is as narrow as I go.
