My board bow (build along?)
« on: June 22, 2016, 07:51:15 pm »
Guys,
Chose a spot on my board to cut the stave from. I basically found the spot where the grain was relatively straight. Anyways, I laid it out and found a problem.  One limb thankfully only has two known place of grain runoff while the other limb has four. I heard that a limb should only have two per limb at most. If I trap the back of he bow and make the limbs two inches wide as planned, do I still have to worry about theses runoff areas? I've included a pic.

Just continue on, with a pyramid design you end up with runouts the length of the bow

    This point seems to be largely unnoticed.

Hey bubby, to cut the taper, I saw that you used a table saw. Did you make a jig so that it cut at an angle?

Hey forgot to,ask on my thread about my board. I was noticing the crown more and more when I cut it and I have heard that you want a board with thick, well spaced rings. How does my crown look? I just can't tell.
Also just got me some titebond ii so ready to glue handles. But before I do at I must determine which is backhand which is belly. I found a 1 inch small dent in my board on one side. Would it be dangerous to put the back on this side? It's not too deep but it is noticeable.

Here's the scratch. It's not very noticeable,unless on close inspection. It's in one of the grain lines and near the handle so maybe it won't have much of an effect. Just need to know?

Anybody think the scratch is too significant for me to put the back on that side?

Looks close enough to the handle to me.. But I am pretty optimistic up until it becomes a splinter grenade and thennnn I realize
