Title: AARRGHH.......
Post by: kennym on August 07, 2009, 10:56:00 PM
Damn!!!

Laying out the third test bow tonite,marked nock and cutoff of limb.

Cut the first end,flipped and cut at the nock line!!   :scared:

Now I have a 62" bow (maybe 60")instead of a 64"

Had the 4th test bow in the oven,thought I was gonna wrap this up soon,but will be delayed a bit to glue up one more!!

Oh well,I kinda like makin bows.........    :cool:

You can just look at it as another part of the test! See what difference the 2" does to poundage,performance etc. LOL

That sucks Kenny, if it makes you feel better I was in a hurry on a bow riser last winter and cut the shelf out on the center line...not the shelf line...which I had forgot to mark.  Almost cried before I laughed it off.  I'm sending you a pm about some wood.

Yep Kevin,I figured to do just that! Already cut it down .

Gotta make another walnut core for heads up comparison tho.
