Thanks guys

Yew does heat bend with a heat gun, most of the time.  In this case the recurves were steam bent and then the Bamboo backing glued on.  The deflex is glued in

Another sweet bow man! I love your arrow shelfs! I gotta work up the courage to try one that deep into the handle some time.

Sweet and sleek,looks like a fun bow to shoot.

It's better to ask and look like a fool than not to ask and remain one...

That looks sweet, Marc. I bet that 64 inches makes for a smooth draw.

Thanks guys.

I didn't cut the Bamboo I used as I'm too far North for Bamboo to grow here.  I got it from James Parker but it looks like it came from at least 3"poles
