Black locust shortie

[BL]

Either the picture is fooling me, or that turquoise in the knot-fill is a really nice touch!  Sweet bow and nicely dressed.

Very cool little bow!

Wow!, that is a sweet bow. I would like to know more about the tips. It looks like dry heat was used to bend them, and  they dont look much thicker than the rest of the bow. I think I tend to leave too much wood in that area for fear of the recurve pulling out.

rps3, I first cut the tips to the thickness, then I bent them with steam. I too felt they where a bit thin, they bent a little at 45#. I was afraid they might uncoil, so I toasted them good (clamped). That did the job, they keep the shape and don't seem to bend much anymore after tillering.
