Go with linen if ya really wanna back it.

Nylon is relatively heavy and doesn't stop ripping like you might expect...

I once made a bow with a sharper bend than that...

It blew at the fade! I had left the bark on and as the back cracked it to some wood with it.
I'm not sure if it woulda made it to 27"...


De-barking is by far my most hated part of bow building.!

Didn't get a chance to work on her today. Went to the sportsmans show instead. But here's a better look at the bendy bit, for you guys.

Beautiful.  Way to push the limits.  I was going to say it looked like a hockey stick until I saw those last couple pics, it is much prettier than a hockey stick.  Hope it survives. My VM recurve blew, but I think it was the particular piece of wood, and my dry heat recurve bending regime.
