Mike I’m thinkin 60” but can vary a little either way... (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190119/89b887146a5f3cf885c9d17976b0a4ae.jpg)
I did a charcoal riser with a 5/16 yellow accent sammiched tween 2-.060 maple.
Debating making one with brown awood to go better with limbs. Whatcha all think would look better??

The hooks are pretty rad for me and I didn't put StabilKore in this one. But the tip wedge on superlam goes pretty well thru the hook so I'm hopin it will work. If not, back to the drawing board... errr bench! :biglaugh:

That yellow will work. What is it. How long of a riser? looks like zip tie form?
It is zip ties and washers. Kinda like a belt and suspenders...

Ritchie, everybody seems to figure measured reflex differently but the short answer is 2" ahead of riser back.
According to Mike's bow, I may have 60# @ 28" here.... with BP glass that might equate to 56# so we will see in a bit... :o

With the big hooks and the superlam it put a lot of stress in midlimb cause the hooks weren't giving much. Unsure right now whether to make one with just a 001 taper instead of superlam or rebuild the form.... :)The string came off when it blew or caused it to ,not sure which...

Could you use more thickness taper and get some of the pressure off the fade areas? How long were the tip wedges?
Post by: kennym on January 21, 2019, 01:29:15 PM

So far the limbs are wanting to twist when drawn on shooting machine .
Thinkin on that!! Big hooks without carbon must be hard to do...
wonder if anglecut awood has something to do with it, kind of like fancy zebra wants to twist.
I intended to put the lams in opposing each other on both sides of limb (like if you could look thru limb the angles would form Xs), will have to pull tape and see if I got that done...
Thinking the first bow probably twisted when I hand drew it is why it blew up. Bettin the string went over the side and I couldn't see it in time(and wasn't expecting it either).

Don't know much about glass building, but that design is one of the most stressed designs for wood bows. Long working hooks like that tend to have high string tension and as you've mentioned will make it unstable at brace. The more string touching the limb the more unstable or in other words wanting to flip and reverse string itself. Glad I'm not the one bracing it.
I hope it works out. It will be awesome if it does.
Post by: kennym on January 23, 2019, 02:44:53 PM
Here is 28” and braced. Still plenty of hook at 58” length.
More to come ... (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190123/a8c66558c6270a4d65b1182996dd3d0b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190123/c2130c8324779f4351769d0f81134909.jpg)

The reason I ask is, because I really like the looks of that bow without that piece. You posted a full draw pic without it. Also being more into the bendy handle bow, I am used to and prefer a small handle area. Next question is if you were to cut into the handle area without that added piece, is that gonna cause an issue with weakness at the handle? I'd be carving into the glass simply to round some edges. Thanks for the input.

The grip overlay adds to the flat where the glass is to round the belly of grip to be comfy. If you rounded without it you would be pretty well rid of the glass on belly which adds a lot of strength.
