i was also wondering, for a hickory recurve, is it feasible to get it up to 70-80lbs? how long and wide and thick should it be?

feasible, oh heck ya.as far as deminsions i have no idea.
i never make bows that stout,i have already had both shoulders done and dont wanna do that again.
but there are guys on here that will know cause they make em like that.
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd
