Kanga

He's been playing again.

Here is what I have been playing around with, it's under my little make shift oven



Hopefully it will work out and I will use it on the first of the Hybrid's I am designing

Schultzy

This could be Interesting!!

Kanga

Steve.

When you do the split in the recurve do what I have done in the pic.

There is a light under the silver bubble wrap putting heat on whats under there

But I ain't saying whats under there just yet

Schultzy

Hmm? Neat little "oven" there. Thanks for the Idea, I'll do the same.

bigcountry

Your cooking a kangaroo?

Kanga

Ok I think it's about time I let the cat out of the bag or should I say my new limbs from under the bubble wrap:d



I still have to rip them lenght wise down to about 1/8" then run them through the drum sander to taper them.

The woods are Yellowheart and Makore with a sliver of Canarywood to take up any kerf left by the bandsaw.

There is still some epoxy on the joint but the drum sander will take care of that.

bigcountry

Nice. Looks real cool Russ.

Kanga

Here is a full view.

The join will be mid limb the line at the top of the Yellowheart will be the finished lenght, for an overall lenght of 66".



Have the other pieces in the mini heat box.

Kanga

Here are both of them all done ready to rip length wise.



As you can see they will be reversed when the bow is put together ie on the back Yellowheart towards the tips and on the belly the Makore will be towards the tips or visa versa depending on how I feel on that particular day

Schultzy

Pretty damn nice there Russel!!
