Muskyman:
So I’d like some help with this layout. Picture is what I’m looking at for the centerline of this bow.
Yes, no, maybe? I tried to follow the grain down the length of the stave.
Stave is 74 inches long

Muskyman:
The rings

Muskyman:
Other end

Muskyman:

Pat B:
Mark out the length that will be your bow and cut it off there. Find the center and draw a line across the back then go 2" on either side and draw a line across marking out your handle  then 2" outside of those lines for the fades. From the fade line mark a line across the back every 2" out each limb. At each of these lines past the fades measure from the center line over 1"(for a 2" wide bow or 3/4" for a 1 1/2" wide bow) and work out each limb marking the narrowed width you want the limb to be at that point. This works well on snaky and irregular shaped bows for lay out.
