Agreed. Just like the wood to give it stability and make it prettier. I’d guess it would be a hybrid if it was PVC or wood backed so they are both in the working limb

My in laws have a chainsaw mill for processing lumber. They have a nice stack of black ash slabs. I always wondered if it would make a good bow. At 12-15 a friend and I would make bows, arrows, axes, machetes, and throwing axes. Our stick bows were made from poplar. Being the late 90s and early 2000s we didn’t have KZbin to help us. I never knew about using the heart wood or anything like that. We used trial and error. Our tools were what we had on hand. My draw knife was a bolo machete lol. Made arrows from fire hardened willows. We used canada goose or turkey feathers as fletching. Held on with string and super glue. Made broad heads from and old stop sign. Think primitive style arrows lol. Never hunted with them. Lots of trial and error.

Hold up. All these years and I could have used card board stacked held together with bungee cords for targets. 🤦🏻‍♂️ we used a huge chunk of blue dock Styrofoam for a target. We were constantly replacing fletching. Your work is awesome.

@BowtellBows
@BowtellBows 3 ай бұрын
They do slow the bow down but that is what the customer wanted. If you make them lighter and narrow the limb more then it can compensate for the weight. Most of the time, they are just for aesthetics.

Had best experience with steaming, using form to achieve desired bend, and then follow up with dry heat via heat gun. Dry heat seems to "set" bend . . . less spring-back when limb removed from form.

That is a really good point and I agree. I have burned a few limbs with the heat gun so careful application and attention is a good idea.
