Title: second try at a static
Post by: catfishon on July 26, 2008, 09:12:00 pm

started this one today . it is 63" from tip to tip and 1 1/8 at the fades.
pretty pleased with how things are going so far and will start to tiller it tomarrow if the ends are lined up. looks like they are but i dont think i'll know for sure untill i get a string on it

I don't see why not,Jon. Seems right that getting the tips lined up early would be the proper thing to do. I've always had trouble getting the bend up close to the recurved part with out taking too much. Thats why I mostly make straight limbed flatbows!
