Title: Brown Bear ILF Warf (Revised)
Post by: Rutland on June 11, 2010, 08:04:00 PM

Just completed a warf on a Brown Bear compound to a recurve.  Shoots great.  Will probably post more pictures on bow builders forum if that is the proper place.  I'm not a expert bow builder.

Durn...you are really good, if you converted a brown bear compound into the bow in the pic.

Remove all hardware, mill out the limb pockets to 20degree limb angle.  Add in ILF limb pads I make on the milling machine.  Sand and refinish.  File down the arrow rest to shoot of the shelf.  It came out 73@28 with tradtech limbs ordered 60@28 for Pinnacle.  If you shoot lighter oreder 45.  I added transparent snakeskin using water slide paper.  I'll explain if anyone is interested.  Then I add my signature limb bolts.

pretty cool, i have a bear compound i had considered converting, but my biggest question was whether or not the angle of the limb pockets would be ok. id be interested in knowing how you did the transparent snakeskin if you could explain.

Water slide paper works only on a laser printer.  I found an image of a snakeskin and printed it on several sheets of water slide paper to have enough images to cover both limbs.  Just like normal printing.  You have to experiment. Cut the image out of the sheet and soak in warm water for 30 seconds.  The image slides off the paper and onto the surface.  It took four sheets for one limb.  It is applied in sections but are unnoticed.  After it dries I apply supperglue to surface to make it permanent than spray with urethane.  Would not recommend for high end bow.  A spray epoxy would eliminate the need for superglue and urethane.

Also, waterslide paper will not show up on dark limbs such as black bo-tuff
