I thought maybe 3rd. time lucky. ::) Just finished up another Franken bow, built from 2 others that broke. The chrysalis is showing on the belly in a couple spots although small. The lam on the belly is cherry; the back lam is maple; last time I use cherry on the belly. Can it be fixed or is it a right off.

You could remove the belly or grind it down and add a more compression strong belly wood.

What type of Butterfly? O:)

The bow has been shot over 100 times. I left it strung for laughs over 2 hours and it took quite a bit of extra set. Not sure if its worth saving. It is highly stressed at only 60" NTN and only 23" of working limb.
I will give it a try Pat after all nothing to loose. It has sentimental value as parts of are from the first bow I built. I must save 'er. ;D

A chrysalis is a butterfly pupa. :o

Cherry is a tricky wood. Try using maple on the belly.
If you give it the right conditions the belly may transform into something beautiful. >:D
