I've got some hikory billets, any ideas on how to best use them as far as design?
What is your draw length, the intended draw weight and the length of the billets?
draw length 29", weight around 55#, and they are 48" long, figured to use th waste for handles
Buddy, 66" to 68" long, 1 3/4" wide at the fades and out to mid limb then tapering to 1/2" tips(to be reduced later). Make a 4","Z" or "W" splice at the handle.
thanks pat, will tb111 work at the splice or should I use urac. also, is this a good project to add reflex?
TB111 will work. You can add reflex at the handle at glue up. If you want to add reflex after glue up to the limbs I would use Urac. It can take the heat and moisture of the reflexing process.
thanks for the info,once I get going maybe I'll post some pics, get some feedback
