Hi
I have problem with my new ipe-maple sinew horsebow
After I first stung bow, with maple and ipe ,glue go delaminate, Make a 2 mm crack,Crack make at the end of grip to bending arm.
I made a longbow with epoxy glue Polish epidian 5 and bow be good, dont have any problem,What is best glue for that composit horsebow?
-
Any pics of the crack?
I don' t think ipe/maple mix to be a great choice.

I dont have a photo because i glue thys delaminte with cyjanoakril
What you mean if maple and ipe its bad combination with sinew???
-
Did you copy that off my sinew along? It looks uncannily similar.
The combination is fine but you can't nor do you need to reflex it that much.
I would try again and scrub the Ipe down well with soapy water before gluing it up.
-
No i dont copy youre ipe sinew laminate,I start making thys bow in july I tomorrow, more scraped belly of bow, lose from draw weight,
at that moment bow go to 90-100 lbs at 28 inch
and I go to tiller,
-
Remember the originals show evidence of wrapping at that point. It's a highly stressed area.
-
might want to post this in the hornbow section
-
But it's not a hornbow and the hornbow guys are adamant that this style is a waste of time in wood.
-
Do you think it's a waste of time Pat?
-
Of course not, I am the biggest proponent of this style. There is just no need to try for a very high degree of reflex.
The reflex in a horn bow is to strain the materials to get the most out of them. You don't have to do that with wood.
-
Ok, I think I might give it a go, got some nice ipe left and plenty of sinew. What wood would you recommend for the core?
-

your right pat I missed that
-
With that much reflex you'll likely exceed the elasticity limits of the wood.....been there done that....like pat says don't put in as much reflex on the next one.
-
Major stress at that point. Wrap it next time before bending.
So much reflex is a waste of time. Aim for the tips to sit maybe 4 inches ahead of the grip.
-
Also balance your reflex through the materials. Glue in a little bit with the wool lams and then a bit more with the sinew.

Do you mean just in this case, or in general?

I don't know, I've had good results with this combo
-
If you push the reflex too far with Maple/Ipe the Ipe WILL tear the Maple in half, even under sinew.
-
I today scrap a belly of bow, I go to at that moment 3-2 mm ipe, to 9 mm thin arm,
I make wrap at the grip end place, bend and already be good, Tomorrow I go to strung thys bow

Yah, me too. Maple and ipe has been a great combo for me. Warbows, flatbows and static recurved. I haven't used it in a highly reflexed or highly stressed design like this, but it's done everything else I've asked of it.

Push any wood to far and you will tear it apart ::)

Some of them just crush and lose spring without tearing apart....

Today I go to tepelik bending, I make litlee more bend tepelik, and thys is photo bending arm,
No crack and delamination,
Bow go to 60-70 lbs draw weight
-
Why r u putting deflex into it?
-
Thys is no deflex putt, thys is traditional methody hornbow tylering
-
He's just getting it bending.
-
Any updates? The siyah grain configuration looks a bit ominous...
-
Hi
Thys is a litlee udpade, litlee tiller and photo, the sijah grain be good, ;)
-
I go to tiller, and its go to good
, by limb go twist and I must heat bend
-
Certainly looks the part. I wouldn't heat it much. Probably you would be able to manually twist the limb to straighten it and train it to be more in line.
