Crossing my fingers, R/D profile
« on: March 30, 2010, 01:47:19 am »
Here is another attempt at an R/D.  I glued this one up with very little Reflex, hoping to take a step back and get the tiller right.  Here it is 62" NTN BBO

Looks great nice and simple...the way it should be as far as I can see till looks good too if anything upper limb looks to have a slight difference but nothing to worry I may be seeing things or I just may be opinionated...either way nice bow man!

Nate...how short are them fades?? Looks like you could get a little more movement nearer the Handle...but it looks really good....as for simple...I don't beleive that VBS was meaning it was simple to tiller...I think He meant that it was a nice simple design...with nice simple lines...I too like it!!

Thanks Guys, it's good to know I'm getting a little closer, Glad to hear it's a little stiff near the fades LOL that's the problem I had with the other 2, TOO much bending there ;D 

Scott, You are absolutely right about gluing on the riser after glue-up I do think it looks nicer that way.  I just don't feel confident with the tools I have to make the fit look good, so I compromise and glue it on square.

I've only got 2 pounds to lose so I'll do a few scrapes in the stiff areas and call it good on this one.  Still contemplating on a cut-out shelf.....
