If your bow is floor tillered as a self bow its more then likely to thick to recurve or even reflex that much , you will need to get closer to Boweds & Bens recipe typically the recurves are done at glue up using reverse wedges, I have used and curently using reverse wedges on a bow same concept , the tip limb lams need to be thin enough to bend well, especially if your going for steep curves , typically there done in more of a slower reflexed fashion on this type bow , steep curves on laminate bows are hard to do unless using multiple thin lams in the tip areas , but you can get some fair reflex if the single core is thinned down ! With the more reflex or recurve form alignment becomes more critical at least for me ! If you have room to leave your front profile wide it helps with string alignment later ! You could also curf cut the tips to create thinner lams and insert wedges I have never did it that way but guys here have !
