Thanks again guys

The mag that has the splicing article is Vol 17 issue 2

Tommy, sometimes I reflex the limbs first and sometimes I do it after I glue the splice together.  This time I did it before I glued the bow together.  The first thing I do though is steam the recurves in, that is easier done with just billets.

Aries, I leave the tips between 3/4" and 1" wide.  The jig I use most of the time is quite simple.  Here's an old picture as I was heat-treating a bow from a few years ago.
