aw carp, im an idiot

[sleek]

I made a bow in a hurry and made the wrong limb the top one. The top is now 27"to the rest and the lower is 31.5" to the rest. Any tiller ideas? Its 60" ttt and has a cut in shelf to rid myself of a nasty knot. I have no idea how I did this. I guess I will shorten the bottom by 2" to make a 58"ttt bow. Its only 1" wide out the fades. Think 45@28 is asking too much?

This is a good reason to add a shelf instead of cutting one in.    Cut a shelf on the other end of the handle.

Well I was able to fix it by dropping the cut shelf an inch and half, and brought the extended fade in some on the upper limb, effectively makeing longer by bending more in the fade. Came out 45#@28".  3 inches of set, one inch string follow.

Tiller aint perfect but sometimes,  a guy has got to know woods ( and his ) limitations.

Braced profile.  Deflexed handle then recurved the tips 2 inches.  After full dray there is 1 inch string follow.

Now't wrong with that, we've all done it.

Looks pretty balanced that way, as Long as it shoots straight, it should be fine

Looks like you pulled a shooter out of your oops.  I thought this would be a post about some botched carp skin backing haha.

Nicely done. Bow making is sometimes about fixing. Jawge

Don't do a thing to it...its fine. The difference or not of the length of a bows limbs doesn't matter,but what matters is the timing and balance of draw between them.

I have to agree with the evil Chris, just look at the upper limb on Yumi bows.

[Sidewinder]

yeah it looks ok to me. How does it shoot? That will be the tale of the tape.  Danny

That this was going to be about bow fishing.
Instead, I get to see a beautiful bow.

Thanks guys for the compliments, I still see the tiller off but its close enough to keep the bow safe... I hope! Lol. Anyways,  a pretty handle makes up for a slightly difficult tiller. Heres some pics below. I love the effect of tigers eye in thin ring osage.
