How about a nice simple formula like how many thousanths per inch of taper over all in the limb?
.002, .004, .006 overall? I think Fetro said he likes .006 overall in his.
How many lams? 3 to 5
Riser -- 12 - 16" in length
Does a shorter riser need thicker lams to push the stiffness further out into the limb?
Depth of Riser -- Rough block last time was 1.5" deep, then add the glass and lams. As small as my hands are, the next one I want the over all depth to be 1.5".
Grip shape -- Dished, straighted, slightly humped... comes to more of a point, or a flat spot where it sets in the hand?
Grip length -- used to make mine 4" but after you add a belly lam and glass, it lengthens it a tad... I was thinking of going 3.5 or 3.75", then adding the glass and lam is will be nearer to 4".
Working limb length Top and Bottom limbs? Shorter bottom limb to make is stiffer and to puch the center of the bow up closer to the shelf?
Length of bow? I was thinking anywhere from 66 - 69"
Shelf location -- 1.25" to 2" above center?
Tiller -- do you really like and prefer that stiff lower limb to naturally let the bow set rock solid and low in the hand?
