I'm thinking of converting my R/D bow that I struggled so hard to get right to a Tri-Lam. That would allow me to be creative with the wood combinations in the limbs also. Pluss I want to try one with bamboo under the bamboo backing.
Then I got to thinking. I haven't made a Recurve yet and I saw on here a build along where a guy did the bending by splicing the bent section and bending the thin splices then regluing them. I kinda like that. It's another chance to mix up the woods.
what do you guys think?
I love those couple of YEW flat bows that have come up recently by Gordon and Keenan. I just can't afford Yew right now or the time. I think about dong a maple Ipe and Bamboo backing version. "Econo Yew".
