Looking great pat. I’m watching this!
BowEd:
Good attempt Pat with that elm.It would serve you well to extend the ever increasing reflex out on your levers also.
They will flatten out and appear stiffer at full draw then.
Pat B:
Ed, I was gonna do that but will wait until I'm a little further along. I've thought about recurving or heavy reflex or just a mild reflex. I'm thinking more of a mild reflex at this point.
Thanks Dave. Hope I don't disappoint.
Heading down to the basement to cook the other limb this morning. With all the rain we've been having rehydration shouldn't be a problem but I'll wait a few days before straining either limb.
BowEd:
It's best to get it done before bracing it.Otherwise your tiller shape will change doing it after you started tillering.
Pat B:
I got the other limb heat treated and did a little lateral straightening to boot...
Then reflexed and heat treated the outer working portion of the limb after the inner limb cooled. I also brought the working limb and lever in line across and through the limb...
