There are no hinges anywhere on that bow, not even close. I think its easier to see upright Danny? I still see stiffnes mid way'ish to the lever fades. That fade looks better upright.

Haha, Pearly you are correct My use of the H word might be a bit too strong, I should have said "area to be left alone for a bit"

personally I think instead of trying to match that elliptical, with a molly you are better off using a full compass on each limb, with two separate circles if your gonna tiller with computer assist, as the working limbs are so short. looks lots better upright and I'd just get it working a little more outer third, Bub

Bubby is correct, this is not a full ellipse it is split at at the the apex on the left and the split nodes have been placed at the fades. same idea as using two full circles.

   Roy I think who ever gets the first bow you made will be happy. And you can make the pretty one for yourself.

Some of you guys are making me feel way behind on the trade bow/s.  When is the deadline to ship again?
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

You almost gave me a heart attack, Weylin!! ;) Thanks for clearing that up, Bub.

I have been shooting my trade bow optipon 2 and I think I'm going to ship soon. It came in at 52@28 Anne shoots well for me. I think my victim would prefer the Osage anyway.  I snapped a few pics but I want to take a few more before I ship. I may just wait and see if they are gpoing to the classic and hand delkiver it if I can go.
