Title: Massaranduba/Hickory
Post by: Louie on October 16, 2018, 04:07:47 am

So here is another Massaranduba/Hickory combo. Made for a lady shooter. I'm liking this massaranduba wood, although it is prone to take set easily.
Dims: 70"ttt, 68"ntn, 40mm wide at handle with 2" fades tapering to 1/2" tips. 35#@28"

 Beautiful bow! I'm sure the lucky lady who gets that one will love it.

A really beuatiful one! Just a pair of questions: How thick is the bow?Does this design took less set than a narrower one?

Nice looking bow, nice color combo.
IMO you could have spread out the bend more. I would make the outer limb and inner limb work more.

Looks like some great craftsmanship. A bow like that deserves some pictures during the day without the harsh shadows.

I use a lot of Mass and usually my bows take little to no set. I think the issue is your tiller. The Full draw photo you have up clearly shows the last 8-10" of your limb doing nothing which is over straining the mid limb area causing set.

Soften the tips and get a more circular shape over the entire limb and the bow will be much better.
