Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I've really been diggin' recurves lately, but yours is at the top!  Great job.  How wide is it?

Great piece of work.  How well did it work gluing the bark over sinew?  Justin

Thanks fellas,

Woody, its 1 3/4" at the fades and then tapers all the way to 1/2" at the tips.

Justin, It went on fine. I crown my sinew so that a backing will go over it snugly. I used TB2.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Looks great and I can tell it would look even better in person.

Thanks guys, the shooting aspects of a static are jsut hard to beat!

Greg, I always boil my tips. I curve them when the bow is pretty thick so that the static curve is larger then the finished limb diminsion. Boiling alows you to bend some pretty thick wood.
