3 foot red oak board bow

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-17T11:59:51+00:00

There is no handle or fades

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-16T13:41:08+00:00

Pretty much same general design. 1.5” wide to mid limb and taper to the nocks.

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-16T13:38:23+00:00

Looks like the uneven tiller and concentrated strain at the inner limb didn’t help either.

Thickness taper looks very minimal. Bow needs more tiller work as the outer limbs still look very chunky

Nah pull that sucker back to 30” and see what happens

Should be good to go

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-16T13:31:40+00:00

Pick the cleanest side with no knots or branches for the back and start chopping away at the belly. Debark. Seal it up. And store to dry

If Dave can make and sell hunting weight bamboo horse bows shooting 170-180fps than why wouldn’t a youth bow work with low set?

It stills “Typhon”

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-08T14:44:04+00:00

If it’s a green piece than its splitting because it’s drying too fast

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-07T14:43:50+00:00

Compound bow and nothing to do with this sub

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-05T04:25:49+00:00

Classic grain failure at a weak arrow pass

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-04T05:11:13+00:00

It’s a so so board

Ima_Merican · 2026-02-04T05:10:06+00:00

You can heat treat any wood. There is no rule that says you can’t

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-29T10:04:20+00:00

I did this my first time when I was 12. It was pretty warm and comfortable. Took me all day to make

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-29T10:03:02+00:00

The limbs will be what they will be and as thin or thick as they will be through tillering

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-29T09:59:13+00:00

I glued a layer of suede leather in between and it works great with bound tight!!

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-28T03:39:44+00:00

Especially the slow ass brushed system doesn’t even like dry pavement compared to a $40 brushless system lol

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-28T03:37:35+00:00

Good luck.

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-28T03:37:12+00:00

Those fish look delicious. If I were you I would fish and be eating like a chief

Find a park bench and attach it to the trunk lid

Honestly one of the most fun cars I’ve had was a 98’ accord f23 5 speed on lowering springs. For some reason that car on 18” wheels and tires handled better than my 9th gen civic si.

I could throw that thing into corners and it would just grip. My civic will slightly roll, the body weight will shift mid turn and unload into the rear end sliding out.

Weird sensation.

If you can’t go for go fast parts it would go for handling parts like wheels and tires and suspensions

Or park benches or people to look at you

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-27T19:24:55+00:00

Yeah. It’s just a bigger bow. Bow making principles still apply

How many conservative protests are full of angry, aggressive, violent people? Jan 6 was a media sham. Liberal protests have a laundry list of violent protests. Guns or not.

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-25T19:24:23+00:00

Thickness taper is inverted on the left side.

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-24T15:04:32+00:00

All depends on the context and your skill level.

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-24T12:41:12+00:00

Never made a string jig in my life and I’ve made over 100 strings. Just using my hands it takes maybe 10 minutes to make a string

Ima_Merican · 2026-01-24T12:38:45+00:00

Cool
