I carried the 1 1/2" width to 9" past the fade and then tapered to 1/2" tips



Tomorrow I'll go over to Bro Randy's and we will bandsaw it out.

I see a bow forming, good work Mickey. I use my see-thru Ferret's Floppy Ruler all the time, great invention.

Doug, good to see you recovered enough to post. Get well soon, we need you for the auction. Thanks for all your hard work for the kids.

went over to Bro Randy's this afternoon and we cut it out to the lines and removed some of the belly wood with his bandsaw

Let's see, if you and your bro are both 6'2", that makes the bow blank about 76". Nice BIG bandsaw. Looks like its becoming a bow...

Looking good. I like that floppy ruler, but i have a question. Is yours the right length? Some guy tried to give me one but it wasn't long enough. I guess inches are measured different where he comes from.  :D

Keepers of the thread....please feel free to TTT this thread to keep it on the front page. I'm going to have to un-feature it so it wont be posted at the top.

Thanks,

Last night I got the limbs trimmed down to an even 3/4" thick, did the initial shaping of the fades, cleaned up the bow to exact outline wth a rasp, and rounded the back edges with a scraper. Today I'll cut in the facets and start getting it ready to ship to George Nagel up in Minnesota for final tillering.

Here's some more pics

Laying out my facets which I do a little differently than Terry. After getting the limbs 3/4" thick I lay out a 3/8" line on both the belly and side of all limbs (3/8" up measured from the back)

Then I rasp a flat between those 2 lines which creates the facets

From the end the limb profile is now 6 sided (counting the back)

We are now getting some bend in the  limb yet still have plenty of wood for making whatever weight we want this bow to be (notice Jawge Tsoukalas replica tillering outfit)    ;)

I now get to pass this on to George Nagel for final tillering. There are 2 spots ol '46 is going to have to watch out for..knots in the middle of 1 limb, but I don't think they are going to be of any major concern, just an annoying inconvenience

   

Draw knifing in this area will cause it to "tear out" or "chunk out"..and it will have to be rasped in those areas to avoid that.

READING CHIPS

Thought this made for an interesting picture..to the left of the vice are the grains of sawdust the result of rasping..to the right are mostly curls, the result of draw knifing.

Wonder how many grains of sawdust are in each one of those curls? Shows how much wood different tools remove.
