Limb Wedges

[SOS]

What are the dimensions and shape of limb wedges for TD longbows?  I may try and make my own.  Kind of look like they are parallel for 1/2 length then taper down...or am I just imagining things?  Steve

Take a look at this. About 1/3rd of the length is tapered. Your design dictates the length you need.

CS, are those Bingham wedges for a recurve?  If they are made like that, does the long flat side go to the back and is the part that is flat against the form?  Steve

ttt, someone must have some suggestions on wedge dimensions?  Anyone?  STeve

The wedges that I use for my TD Long bow are 10" long , 3/8 in. thick with a continuous taper. One advantage of having some parallel before the start of your taper is a flush limb bolt fit without a reverse taper limb overlay. It all depends on your limb design.

Those wedges I made.They are .200 thick. That design takes a 7 3/4 wedge. Yes the flat part is on the front of the bow for a smoother profile.
