My latest project

im making a bow.

i found a fiberglass "plank" about 1.5 in. wide 5.5ft. long 1/4 in. thick.

porbably from some old construction zone sign.

since its very flexible, i decided to make a bow out of it but it would be very weak if i left it as it was. maybe 20# draw weight max.
so im going to make a hardwood handle for it to keep the middle section (about 1' long)
straight and thus the ''arms'' would provide the force instead of the middle section (double strength).

right now im wondering if i should bolt the handle on or just glue it and wrap it with sports tape.

so i estimate it will have about 30 # of draw weight.
