Hickory bow build.

<< < (27/44) > >>

Selfbowman:
Ok Dave I have no experience with this kind of build. So I’m watching and hopefully learn from it.

Got this low braced again since the sinew.  Doesn’t look too bad.  Got some spots to even out but good enough to throw up on the tiller rig. The tips aren’t perfectly lined up.  The bottom limb tip is good and straight but the top one is off a little to one side.  Not a performance issue I don’t think but a pet peave of mine.  The sinew may have pulled it off too maybe.  Should still be fine.  I’ll get to bending more and post some results.  More updates to come this week.  I think I’ll have to move my string saddles further towards the tips a bit from the looks of things. I’ll keep and eye on this as I go.   Here’s some pics. 

Bob Barnes:
You're almost there... I think that between your tip design and the large string loops that cradle the last couple of inches of the limb...it'll be just fine.  Looking forward to the finish...  :OK

Selfbowman:
Looking good Dave . How was it to string?

You got a scary part done.

I still always pucker a little first brace and that one would have a higher pucker factor
