Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Those are some pretty narrow tips to keep the string lined up on. Interesting notch. I haven't noticed. Have you used that before? When I don't put overlays on I'm always afraid to violate the back for my notch. Maybe I don't need to be.

I do all my recurve tips like this and never had a problem. On this one I got lucky and the tips lined up perfectly after first brace despite having some twist in the limbs. On my previous bl recurve I had to heat one tip about six times before it worked out. Have shot that bow a lot in cold and hot temperatures and it is still perfectly aligned. I really love narrow tips on recurves, the combination with HLD and narrow tips makes them really quick  ;D

Beautiful bow as always! Love color color the fuming gave it, how long did it fume?

Fumed it for 4 days with normal cheap ammonia. (Not that high concentration stuff)
Black locust really turns dark quickly, will try another one for longer to see how dark it will get.

Love it, super nice bow. The surfaces are really smooth and the fuming does its part.
Congrats Leon!

That is a really nice combination Leonwood and certainly does look quick. Your recurve looks just right to. String seems to be coming off curve just right at full draw. Once again beautiful work.

Thanks, and yes this fuming really helps smooth the surfaces. You said it in your fuming thread but it is seriously cool to see it happen every time 8)

Like everything about that bow and the handle turned out awesome as well. I hope the knot is not causing you any trouble! You do great work and I enjoy all of your bows.

A very nice bow!

You should chrono this one. And do you have a image of the problematic knot? How much it took set? Is black locust native there or imported wood?

Will chrono this one if the weather clears up a bit, no set yet but has only about 200 arrows throught it. On the other hand, it’s sister stave is a 66” long hld recurve drawing 60@28 and has no set after a few thousand shots.
Black locust grows around here and I have great success with heat treating in combination with a hollow belly.
