Osage ELB attempt, am I on the right track? Finished bow"Lox" 95llbs@30"
Ruddy Darter:
...and horns fitted ready to shape.
Ruddy Darter:
https://youtu.be/YCT1rgiILBQ?si=64JWY1m4NtiOIfRz just took a video of first bend of the Osage ELB, I haven't done any tillering on it as yet, I'm quite pleased as it's moving nicely throughout. The top limb is to the right of the screen. The top limb has a reflex the deflex going on mid limb and moves more on the deflex, I think this will dictate what draw weight I'll get. Looking ok for a start off point?
(The video shows the movement better)

Eric Krewson:
I would take that right limb reflex/deflex out with heat before I went any further.
Ruddy Darter:
Ok thanks Eric,
That sounds like the right path, but I would like to keep as much of the "crooked stick look" as I possibly can if that can be achievable , I'll have a good ponder and get back to it and get it on a tillering tree. Thanks again.
R.D.
*I I went the whole length of the bow, working down from the top limb deflex area, and put on a much rounder belly profile, I'll see how the tiller looks as soon as i get a chance.*
I'll update once I get the bow braced.
TimBo:
It doesn't look like the inner third or so of the upper limb is moving much to me. I am sometimes torn between evening out limbs and the crooked stick look...this one would cause me lots of problems though!
