look's to me like most will be gone by the time ya narrow the tips, and leave the tips non bending , I assume that is a tip seems wide

Same here you still have room for a tip there.

how wide is it?

Is that a side view or the back or belly?  If it is a side view.  Is the right or left the back?  Looks like it could work out.

how wide is the limb? if its wide enough and the check in shallow enough you can narrow it and itll go away.

Just sand the tip to an angle of about 30 degrees and glue a hardwood tip overlay onto the crack. Should be no problem then!

Title: Re: doomed??
Post by: 4dog on March 15, 2014, 12:44:49 am

where the line is...lose the taper..this is side profile.

Title: Re: doomed??
Post by: 4dog on March 15, 2014, 12:47:05 am

this is the back...from the side profile i could thin the check out of it..i think..but still have the depth for strength..just a guess on my part.

I can't tell from the pics but the levers / tips won't bend so your prolly good to go, remember the levers only have to be a little thicker to not bend but if the tips get real narrow leave a little more thickness

I would make sure you have enough working limb width near the junction of limb and lever.  No bueno if it is too narrow to carry it's share of the load.
