But I bought a digital caliper here are the results in thickness and width. Pardon my scribble.
Arvin, that's awesome! How on earth did you discover millimeters in Texas?
Just for future work, normally the 0 point is taken as the center of the bow and the numbers run out to the nocks. I don't know if I have time this weekend, but I will punch those numbers into David Dewey's spreadsheet and see what it has to say. I can't add in the tip reflex, but it will give me an idea of how those look for a flat bow.
I don’t know which one is right?
A few things for weighing the pieces.
1) You don't want the rounded edges, you want a true cube (or rectangular prism) to be able to calculate the volume accurately.
2) Try the scales in grams instead of ounces, they are a much finer unit and lead to better precision.
3) You also want to make your piece as big as you can so you aren't trying to weigh something that is so light the scale can't feel it. In general, try to be over 1% of whatever the maximum scale capacity is. Another thing that helps with light pieces is to put something heavier on the scale first and zero the readout with that on the scale, then weigh the test piece from that new zero point. Most scales are not very accurate at the extremes of their range and putting something on to get yourself into the middle of the range usually gives better results.
4) Weigh the piece 5 times and average the results if you get different numbers each time.
