Bows / Re: The best shape for a reflexed bow?
« Last post by willie on Today at 02:02:19 pm »As for the taper rate, I optimized it with strain distribution in mind. What would be a better approach?
Model exceptional performing bows in virtualbow to find what the best strain distribution looks like.
Use this distribution model to test different degrees of deflex/reflex, different tapers and lengths etc.

The nice thing about the fringe is it doesn’t matter if you have odd shapes that don’t fit together ideally.
It just adds character
Nothing fancy, but I like the look

« Last post by bjrogg on Today at 01:03:10 pm »I cut lace from around the outside of my leather. I use two different colors. A cream colored hide and a tan colored hide.
I stitch the area around the the knife and to each side. First in the cream color. Then I come back and stitch between the cream color stitches with the tan lace.
