Hickory bow build.
Bob Barnes:
I like the string saddles... It reminds me of many years ago when Marc started making his crazy fast bows... he was the first person that I knew who did that. I hope he is watching this thread. :) I really hope it holds together and makes some crazy fast numbers through your Crony. :OK

Thanks Bob. I’ve seen some of Marc’s bows and they are very very nice bows. It’s guys like Marc that have paved the way for a lot of us on here. I did not realize he did saddles but it makes sense he would as I think there is merit to them for highly reflexed bows for sure. Thanks for watching.
Bob Barnes:
Dave, Marc made me a bow called "White Lightning" that shot a solid 195fps with 10gpp arrows. It was the fastest bow that I ever shot, but I let it go to someone that could pull the weight when I couldn't. It had moose hide for the bridges...I think? Marc?
It seems to me that you are heading in the right direction. You and Marc are both way above my pay grade... Congrats!

Wow that is so cool! I’ll have to go see him up north one of these days. I’m sure we could find a few things to talk about for sure. I’ve never seen this bow before but there are so similarities for sure. What’s interesting is that I’ve named some of my bow lightning or bolt around the same theme too. My web page still under development is called “lightning bows”. Very cool. Thanks for posting that
Selfbowman:
Dave are you sure the sinew is completely dry? I know nothing about sinew. Regardless the two different natural materials are moving the neutral plane. How close are you on hitting your draw weight. This might be approaching the point of belly failure. With all the recurve. Interesting for sure.
