I know this is kind of an old thread but I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. I'm working on a very similar Osage bow and would like to flip the tips as well. This bow looks phenomenal and has the exact profile that I'm looking for, but I don't know what kind of form I should use or what radius of a curve you used for your form.

Hi Cade, I flipped the tips on this one with dry heat from a heatgun. Not really sure about the radius because I just drew it freehand when I made the form. I can take some measurements if I get back from work tonight if you like?

This is the form I used, I have made a few of these from very mellow to full recurves. I measured it and wrote it on the form for you since I really do all my bowmaking by feeling

Glad to see you entered it in BOM Leonwood. Lots of nice bows over there in case anyone hasn't had a chance to look yet.
