Thanks everybody! Recurves really arent that hard once you figure out how to line up the tips. A heat gun, a vise, and some patience  is all you need.  ;)

Really nice bow Ryan as I've come to expect from you. Both you and Shannon have really got the knack for the recurves...so far they have eluded me.

Hopefully the one I have roughed in is lined up okay. :)

Nice bow, I like the deep handle.  How wide and deep is the point at the arrow pass?

Thanks Greg. I some times have to heat and adjust the tips on a bow like this 4 or 5 times to get them were I want them.
Lennie, Thanks.I dont have a tape measure handy but roughly I would say 7/8" wide at the shelf and about 2" thick. This bow is completley center shot.

I did some more grip shaping, and glued some double layer tip overlays on it last night. Whitetail antler and hoof. Never tried hoof before, we will see how it works. ;D

Here's a picture of the handle before I add a leather grip, what do you think black or brown?
