2025 Junior Bow Trade
Aaron1726:
Looking good to me, that was a lot of bends to straighten. Hope tillering goes well this weekend.
I have mine still a couple lbs heavy, but been working on sanding it all smooth, so hoping that will get the last little bit and then I can finish it up this week or next.
Aaron1726:
I have gotten mine where I'm happy with things. Here's a few shots, un braced, braced and full draw. The string wrapped on the limb is the top limb for reference. The top limb had some natural recurve to it and the whole stave had deflex. I was able to heat out quite a bit of it, but seems this is how it wants to be. Been shooting it for the last several weeks and seems to shoot pretty good.
I put some stain on it today, so nearly done.
Wallski:
Hey Aaron, it’s looking good!
stuckinthemud:
Oh wow, that is looking really nice. Mafort has been in touch, making good progress, we might be on target to ship at the end of the month, or early October. Well done everyone!!
paulc:
Again...don't wait for me! I feel bad being so far behind!
My tips are not inline enough. The bow doesn't twist a lot but it definitely wants to rotate a bit. I will get into tillering and I guess try and move the tips again with more dry heat? Not feeling good about giving this to someone if i succeed in making a bow from it. String runs along the tile grout line...Inside the circle is the handle :-(
