Gman's posts about Bow Making in Techniques got me thinking about using me machine for carving a couple of bows for my Grandsons,
I have a few lengths of seasoned 5/4 Lemon Wood that I bought from Israel, they were cut and taged in 1948,
their still packed and sealed in the original Bees Wax they were shipped in.
Years ago (about 40) I shot Tournament Bow myself, also did a lot of Bow Hunting, and had planed to make a couple of nice Classic Bows for myself,
--- the years went by and I never got around to it. Now I think it might be interesting to try to do it for the Grand kids.

Ken,
Your perspective view above could be a photo of one of the lemon-wood blanks my Father still had for an unfinished bow. It was going to be carved down further by his older brother Gilbert when he got back to California from the fleet. Gilbert having joined the Navy before my Dad, never returned and lies to this day with his shipmates on the Arizona. Your rendering put a chill down my spine because I had not seen that object in years. All those Indian gear items were given to a YMCA program in the Annapolis area years ago before one of my parents' change of station moves overseas.

I'd certainly appreciate seeing the results if you go ahead with the project for your Grand Kids. Thanks for the memory opportunity.

Looks good. You keep apologizing for for needing bit optimization best, but you shouldn't. Bit optimization best is what is required to accurately reproduce the details of your pattern. It should be the default in Designer (except only that it takes more computing time).

I posted the vectors to this in another area. I had wanted to make this into a pattern for some time.
This was done with Moi3D, and ZB.

You gave me some new ideas on using the new functions.

I'm still not sure how y'all find it best to upload the pattern, so I've included just about every version I can think of, including an STL zip....

Some time back this pattern was asked for by a member. Had some time today so I decided to make it.

If you have not noticed, I have shut down my shopping cart on my website. With this, the shared patterns available there are no longer available. I will be listing those 130+ patterns here a little at a time, when I get the time. As for the patterns I had for sale well over 200, they are still available by asking me, and I will give you a fare price on the pattern. Problem is there will be no images anywhere for you to look at( I will have to look into doing something sometime). I will most likely list the other 200+ patterns I have never shown here that I have made over the years too.

First off will be a helmet I made back in 2012 (post here #15)
