Did you drag out one of your old staves?
How long will the recurve be NTN ?
:bigsmyl:
This is the stave I got from Jim at the Classic. I think it's 64" t/t.
:thumbsup:
After the initial tip bending and some tweaking...

I've done a little more, getting the tips aligned and reducing the weight. Here's a few pics, unbraced, braced with a tight tiller string and pulled a few inches. You can see the tiller is still off. More to come...

Looking good.
Looks nice Pat.
Thanks, guys. It's good to get back in to it.
:thumbsup:
Looks like it's coming along very nice!
Coming along nicely but been too busy to get back to it lately. Hopefully soon though. :thumbsup:
I've been heat tweaking some twist and aligning the tips a little lately. Once I made a new string and got her to brace I noticed more lateral misalignment. I'm just going a little at a time.
I'll get the actual measurements but she has a gradual taper to the last 9" then taper to 1/2 tips for now.
the bow is 66" n/n, 1 1/2" at the fades, 1 3/8" at mid limb and 1 1/4" at 9" from the tips and tapers to 1/2" tips(for now)
I'm having trouble with the lower limb tip wanting to twist laterally. I need to work on that now. The tiller is ok other than that. She's at 47#@26" now.
You will get it :bigsmyl: :thumbsup:
Well, it's about time... ;D
Got her all done and she shoots well, is light in the hand and is whisper quiet. She's 65" t/t and pulls just over 44#@26". I didn't add tip overlays and only have side nocks coming around to the belly. The handle wrap and floppy rest is commercial elk hide with mink string silencers. I did a sunburst dye job on the back with medium brown Fiebings leather dye. I've put about 50 arrows through her and like I said she shoots quite well.
Here are a few pics. I'll post a full draw later today...
