Did it let go at a heat corrected spot??
Ditto...looks a little toasted on the side and the back.
A heartbreaking loss, she was a beauty!

That was a spot that got a lil heat correction. A lil more heat than i wanted, is that the culprit?

Oh man, that's a bummer......and such a fine looking bow. The tiller looks great.
It was hurting my neck turning up side down ;-)

I thought the same thing on the heat - if the back got hot during the correction, it could have contributed to the break. Sure was a nice looking bow.

maybe a combo of the heat correction and relative humidity where the bow was,, maybe after the heat treating it never went back to a healthy moisture content,, of course nothing like that has ever happened to me

How long after heat did you bend it. I had that happen after one day of heating it, fine before next day it broke, right wherw i heated it. It got too dry and brittle to bend. Needed to wait a few days to gwt moisture back up.

I've learned to always let a stik sit for a couple or few days after heat or steam. This one hurts cuz i went real slow, watched my p's and q's and it was my last piece of yeller wood... Bummer. If u aint breakin u aint makin, onward and upward 🏹

I would say the heat did you in and maybe it got tired of being pulled 27". That was a shame.

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

Any brown on the back side is dangerous, looks like your brace height might have been a tad high. It seemed to hold its reflex well and the tiller looked good. I think the scorching did you in.

Ah man! that sucks, bro. That was a nice looking bow. That finish work looks like something I'd put on a bow, so, I approve!
Keep at it!

I've had some Osage delaminate where I did heavy heat. What was the ratio between early and late?

That was a beautiful bow, it's a shame it broke on you. But don't be too discouraged, just learn from what you did from that bow and apply it to the next. Experience is a brutal teacher, but the lessons you learn from it sure do stick!

That really sucks. I feel your pain, I broke a beauty last week that I tried to get a little closer to center. It was perfectly fine I should have left it alone. 20/20 hindsight.I just used dry heat to line one up yesterday guess I'll be giving it a few days. I don't need to see another go. If it does I don't think I'll be making anymore dry heat corrections.
