Thanks Cody...haven't heard much from you these days.  Hope everything is good with you....

Well, finally got a chance to get back to some bow building.  Got this thing tillered with a long string, hard to floor tiller a recurve.  Got one tip ready for a string just need to get the other tip ready, hopefully before the weekend.  I'll have a few more pictures this weekend of it at low brace and ready for sinew.  Please excuse my picture taken tonight...

It ended up being 59" ntn - my shortest to date
Right now 7" of reflex and planning on adding more during sinewing.
1.5" wide 8" past the fades and tapers to the 3/8" wide tips
4" handle, 1.5" fades
Planning for 50# @ 28"

Thanks for looking,
Till next time,
DBar

That's looking like a pretty tough one to get braced there Bill. As osage said should be fast and be careful on that chair. Do you have your safety harness on?lol

Looks like it is coming along nicely!  Those are some serious hooks, but I wouldn't expect less in one of your recurves.  Looking forward to seeing this one.

Some how I missed this one the first time it was out.  I like the continuous curve of your reflex very much.  Sinew is going to make it into a very lethal tool!

Yeah looking great Bill, watching this thread!
Not really convinced about the sinewing, though.
But curious what you're doing.
