Perhaps the most important fact of bow design.
Selfbowman:
Not understanding. I’m thinking the wider the load is spread out more. But yes thicker will take more load.
Jim Davis:
Thicker wood will bend less before starting to take set. Thin wood enough and you can bend it into a circle--though it will have almost no strength.
Selfbowman:
Have it strung. Will start tiller tomorrow.
Selfbowman:
Pretty good alignment.
