I did something I normally don't do cus I thought I might wanna flip or recurve the tips with only having a one inch of reflex start...so I cut some temporary side nocks and started tillering her out...here it is at a 5 1/2" brace




I got it pulling out to 22"...no clue on exact poundage yet,but its close to high 50's right now right there.......look I made a triangle...or a diamond including the string..lol.....funky looking huh  :D

iIwould have messed that stave all up. Pretty cool looking bow. All of your bows are awesome and
it'll be fun to watch and see how you finish that one and then what you come up with next. Danny

About time, just been 2 1/2 years, should be well seasoned. ;) :) Look forward to seeing it in the works. :)

Hey, I remember that bow! At least from when you posted rough out pictures of it years back. Glad to see it is still alive. It is looking awesome. I like the idea of some recurve. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
