how do you do the reflex deflex like that?
I use a jig, a form of wood with the curve cut in. And steam of course about 20-30 min for each bend, depends on thickness of the wood.
I've had those vertical drying checks develop in some of my finished osage bows. No problems, even on the heavy war bows I've made. I fill the checks with super thin CA glue. No failures so far.

Yeah, I did also in this case - thin super glue is really great stuff
That is a looker. It does look very authentic. Also, I really like your arrow, the fletching, your point. Great work, really noteworthy.
fogot to say: the point is slate stone, can easily split in a matching size (thickness), shape is made by knapping, sharpened by grinding; feathers are grey goose
Ohhh,and sinew popping off came at full draw (not at the first!) with big bang like a gun shot!!!
Has anyone used popped off sinew layers a second time??
Thank you all for your input
