I was afraid that was your hand in the picture and you had really short fingers... The bow is looking good though.

Wayne,
You better spend a couple of dayz in beautifull downtown PincherCreek next time you are out west and we'll spend a little time in the string making department   :eek:  
I can't believe you skipped that class and ended up in the advanced bow building one   :scared:  
How'd you do that??
Looking good my friend, can't wait to see her strung.

Whatever puts you in the bow building mood, buddy    :D
More than once I've gotten up, put the coffee on, and then gone down to the basement to do a little scraping on a bow.  In my underwear    :scared:  
Who am I to judge?    :D
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

thanks michael, with the very narrow /deep tips- i really want to stabilise them as much as possible

fujimo

have it braced at 7 1/4", with 1/8" positive tiller on the bottom limb.( bottom limb on the left)
   
only problem is that its #70 @ 28       :scared:            :scared:      
so for the next one i will be breaking out BJansens stack calculator        :D     . i knew this was a trial run- so now i have a starting point- good!

drawnto about 15"
   

man the bend on these things is pretty scary

drawn to about 24"
 


what do you guys think - this is my first recurve- does anything need to change with the bend/ tiller
thanks

That is kinda scary at 24"!  Made me step back from the screen.

7 1/4" brace is where you need to be.
Looks good to me
pull it to 28"

How thick are the cores
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

Did you check the width every inch down the limbs?
