Default RE: Warf Project

Ok I wrote up a big thing about this and used the fast repy (which never works for me) So I lost it all.

Basicaly Bob is the Guru of Warfing bows. I talked with him to see if an old bow I have could be done. He told me he mainly used the black bear risers. He said 90% of the ones he's done are black bear risers and then most of the others were proline and a few of other bows. I have a Proline Tradition series (same riser as tryfoon with recurve limbs. Built as a factory bow) Bob said this are good limbs. I agree the bow is fast.

My thoughts are if your going to do this it should be laminated limbs. Wood limbs may be a bit on the tricky side.
I've made 10 or so selfbows. I wouldn't take this on yet. I suggest, Like Burnie, to build a few bows and once your comfortable then try warfing.

I took a couple pics of a nova and my proline. (Bob likes this riser for the limb pocket and angles. There are just alot more black bears as I understand)

I would think a limb could be made with a built up pad area to make th agles the same.
