Question about Osage and bamboo?? And bow build
willie:
Lookin good Arvin.
Seems you have some extra width but will set your tiller weight goal for the same draw weight and length as the record bow? That will give you some margin for the experiment. It would be cool if you dont experience the usual inch or so of set you report for some of your all Osage bows, and hopefully the boo will perform in front of the chrono.
I do think glueing in the reflex with a lam will make a diffefence
Selfbowman:
Watching glue dry!
Selfbowman:
Off the caul and tip overlays on.
Selfbowman:
Well all was going good I started tillering a bit soon or my EA40 went bad or the fades could not take the stress! I got some real thin epoxy from Alan some time back so I reglued it And put in in the hot box at about 160 for a couple hrs. See what happens tomorrow. Can Anybody tell me how to bend bamboo on a 5” radius???
Selfbowman:
So much for this experiment! Well I’ve got a nice flat back so I will put boo on the back and see if the extra width will fix the set. Shame this would have made a great selfbow stave.
