    Default 62" Take Down reflex deflex longbow (PIC HEAVY)

    I did a build-a-long on another site and though yall may want to see it as well. I just included the pics in order that the bow was made. I made this bow from scratch including the laminates inside the limb. She is 62" long, 6" brace height and 45lbs with traped limbs.

    These pics show the progression from lumber to laminates. I am using pignut hickory.Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

    The final product except for being sealed. I trapped the limbs as well. That means the cross section of the limb looks like a trapazoid. this makes the limb lighter and faster.Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

    Hope yall enjoyed the show!

    i haven't even started the strip or s&g boat projects. a couple of years ago i bought a couple hundred dollars worth of west systems epoxy and two routers for the purpose. sadly, that stuff doesn't keep that long in our summers.

    last year, i did start the frame [cedar] for a novel cardboard kayak. i should at least get back to that one.

    I build and design strip built kayaks, I have pics too, but I dont have the time to build my next one before I need it. A S&G is so quick and easy. I have the hull made now. It is one of the pics above. Just need to put the bulkheads , pedals and deck on. Then the rudder as it will be loaded heavily.

    If you need help with it I shoot me a line.

    I am on vac for the month so I try to get all my hobbies in order when ever I am because once I am back at work I dont have as much time to focus on everything I want to do.
