▲ 11 r/Bowyer
Tiller check please (american flatbow for my dad)
Target: 35# at 30,5", NTN 73" (currently 75"). Front profile is 2" (50 mm) wide until about mid limb (where the loop is in the right limb), it then tapers to about 1/2".
In the parallel section the thickness tapers from 17 mm to 13 mm. In the pyramidal section it stays 13 mm until about 12" from the nocks, where it starts getting thicker, so that the last 8" are stiff.
The stave has a natural, even deflex of 1" (25 mm) on each limb. The drawn state is about 2" over brace height. I drew black straight lines on the sides to better see the actual bend. There is no set yet and im am 690 g of bow mass which is about 100 g more than i need, following Steves principle.
The tips and handle are not yet to final shape.
