AVCase design Arvin bow build

[Selfbowman]

Ok guys Alan was nice enough to give me a design to build by and I was fortunate to have a real clean. Flat Osage stave. The design was close to my caul I normally use. The growth rings I don’t consider ideal but good and even in thickness. So. We will see how this turns out and how good I am at following the engineers drawings.🤠🤠

Y’all have seen enough of my bow builds to get this up to speed. I’ve roughed the stave out and did my first heat bend and straightening.i have the back close to width. I am marking my thickness edge to desired thickness by Alan . I will get this close and reheat the limbs to the caul. I want to hit his profiles Ass close as Arvin can do.

This is my thickness marks on the edge.

Now to connect the dots and take off the excess.

After the most thickness has been removed we are back to the caul.

Third heat session.

Where is bowanarro? I know he will speak the truth.

Caul looks good. It’s hard to see the numbers though.  From the pic it appears the heat treatment was fairly dark.  It may just be the lighting.

Wow Arvin that’s a lot of numbers to keep up with 🤔 Pappy

Very interested in seeing the outcome. Will definitely be following along on this one.

Yes it is.i have a good stave so it’s going to be a lot of filing and 80 grit to hit all those numbers.🤠🤠

are you also going to tiller , or ship it undrawn?

[bradsmith2010]

I have never tried that, so I am guessing ,, you might have to adjust the tiller even if you hit the numbers,,
