Ready for a test run and then some glue.

Crooked Stic · February 20, 2020, 10:16:42 PM

That one will be nice.

Nice layout, lots of pieces too!

Lookin good Travis!!

I'm either gonna cut my victims bow to 58" or make a set of pink

phenolic limb pad wedges to get the string off the limbs. When you strum the string it rattles on the limbs a bit...

Crooked Stic · February 21, 2020, 12:46:34 PM

Dang Kenny never seen pink phenolic before that will be cute tho.

Have you tried raising the brace a bit??

kennym · February 21, 2020, 04:53:01 PM

What are you not liking about Kenny? I was liking the looks of it.

kennym · February 21, 2020, 08:15:39 PM

Not enough preload to keep quiet . I have to build different riser or limbs ...

Kenny, what if you took your limb mounting hardware out filled the holes and glued a piece to the pads. Then you could change your pad angle. Not sure if it would be worth the effort. Could probably just make a wedge and glue it on the pad and still use the hardware depending on how many degrees you need. Could make some wedges just to see how she acts with a little less pad angle.

kennym · February 21, 2020, 08:53:15 PM

We think alike. Already made wedges and flattened angle. Not gonna be enough . So prob make new riser and get them the way I want em

Crooked Stic · February 21, 2020, 09:39:30 PM

What angle are your pads now?

TradBowyer · February 22, 2020, 12:33:47 PM

well, i sent my zebrawood board to the lovely and talented Mr. Kenny. After he checks it out and determines what can be done with it, we'll see if i use it for this swap or decide to go another direction.

kennym · February 22, 2020, 01:19:45 PM

Pads were 18, was copying (gasp) a known bow for this one but now doing what I shoulda done first. Measure six times cut once!!

Tim the pic of that board made me drool a little!!

I've settled on 13* pads for it. Will see...

Crooked Stic · February 22, 2020, 01:43:20 PM

Where the limbs on the old riser floppy or pretty stable?

kennym · February 22, 2020, 01:56:29 PM

Not real floppy, just no preload to speak of. Not sure why I didn't see that. Brain gas I reckon...

Ah well, maybe I'll make a recurve with that riser someday...

EvilDogBeast · February 22, 2020, 04:03:15 PM

Mailman brought me a tube with some scraps in it today. Not sure if they're useable though. You guys think I can salvage these somehow?

Naw just send them veneers here. Then you can use that wrinkly paper for your veneers. be sure to get plenty of glue on them tho..

EvilDogBeast · February 22, 2020, 05:39:03 PM

You know, I considered ironing those rags before taking that picture

I will definitely be using an absurd amount of glue on this one
