Got a few pictures of my progress.   Thanks again to Osage Outlaw (Clint) for the sinew.    :) ;)   Hope to be using it in the next few weeks.
Took a couple of pictures of my caul/form, tip steaming set up and the bow to this point with the (Pearl like) recurves.

Wouldn't recommend PVC for a steaming tube, it's gets a little soft @ 212 deg. F  :-[ :-[   :laugh:

Of course I'll be shorting those tips up a bit.  Stave was a little longer than needed but it really helps with steaming bending the tips.
I'll post my progress

Comments welcome,
Thanks for looking,
DBar

This is going to be a good one Bill.  Those are some wicked curves on that thing.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

  What is the radius on your curve?

Let's hope so Clint,  Pat B inspired me to try my hand at a short recurve.  This one is not going to be as short as his, looking at about 60"- 62" for a 28" draw.
Thanks again,
DBar

Bring it to the shoot on the fourth so we can see those curves up close. Looks real good Bill!
