Fire pit stave???
Selfbowman:
The knot in one end is trying to give me a hard time so I’m going to use a less drastic radius caul on the ends. This caul was for a short computer designed bow I did. No checks on the back so far. This thing is going spend many hours on the heat bench.
Selfbowman:
Thinned out the limbs so it would take heat better, cleaned up the edges. The knot in one end may have to be addressed it a later time with a patch on the belly side.
Selfbowman:
I’m going to put a 8” non bend handle in it. At the fades I have 3/4” x1-7/8” wide. I always have problems with them popping off. What weight bow would y’all recommend so it does not bend past the fade or have very little stress at that point?
superdav95:
Cool build. Is it too late to use steam on the recurves?
Selfbowman:
No Dave but this not going to be a flight bow. I’m thinking 40#. The only reason I’m attempting this is because of the growth ring ratio. Pic
