Looking good, Pat. We don't slowdown we get more precise. LOL.  No snow here either. I'm tickled with that. Less time snowblowing. :) Jawge

Pat, yes the stave you gave me is the other half of that one. Looks like a twin. ;D  As far as flipping the tips. If your doing just a slight flip I would do dry heat with oil, if you want a tight sharper flip then boil or steam.
 I remember that stave well. It's the one that seemed to scream NW replica ;D

Once I get it bending pretty good I'll decide if I want a small or bigger recurve tip. Time to go scrape some wood!  ;)

im interested to see that pole turn into a bow... I have one about the same size I got from cipriano and am looking for some ideas.  Mine has a good 4" of perfect natural reflex, and it would be nice to keep some.... Cool projects.

Jon, I have better luck adding the reflex I want than depending on natural reflex. My last one had way too much reflex and has suffered an injury because of it.

After reading the same article, I went and cut my sapling from a stump that I previously cut for firewood ten years prior. I clamped the halves to cauls to control the reflex. Learned the hard way on a hickory sapling earlier. Good luck and have fun.
