two different limb woods
« on: March 03, 2015, 05:03:19 pm »
Hi all,
just been looking at take down and billet bows on here and, was wondering if anyone has billeted two different woods together,
 and if so what it performed like.
I was just imagining a yew and an elm limb, with the elm having a lot wider limb to balance it with the yew,would be a strange site ;)
 its probably all been done before but nice to hear any experiences ..

A few guys have done it over the years. As long as you tiller it properly there is no reason for it not working.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Yeah...that I believe came about from some campfire talk between will n pappy...willy got ahold of me and we talked it over...he spliced osage(bottom limb) and yew(top limb) together n made it assymetrical...he spliced em up and roughed it down to floor tiller....then handed it to me at the classic two years ago and I finished tillered it and put overlays on it. It shot loverly and ya couldn't tell a difference. We made sure to have equall mass in each limb and a dead nuts balanced bow at the fulcrum point. Worked great!!! :)
