Topic: DIY tiny bow
I want a Tiny Bow like alibow sells but the shipping is too high for me. I’d like to see if I can make one myself. For those who don’t know, their bow is about 18 inches long when strung, and has a draw weight of about 25# at 10” which is the maximum draw length. It’s a scaled down Manchu bow.
I was thinking of having maple siyahs and limbs made of fiberglass lamination, but I have no idea how thick to make the limbs. I had been thinking of taking bo tuff strips and cutting them in thirds and layering those. So 24” long for the fiberglass part. Do the back/belly strips need to be sanded on only one side though? Would .09”-.15” thick fiberglass be sufficient material, or would that be way too much?
