Cool little bow Pat!

Super nice Pat! Love those curves also. I'd give it a few more days to set it's weight if I were you. Temps should drop here soon. I've found it best to set the weight of these type bows for the temperature one's most like to hunt in. When you get down to the nitty gritty, sinew backed bows are still seasonal bows, at best. Good luck with yours..............Art

Thanks everyone. She's not finished yet. I still need to shoot her a lot then add the finishing touches.
 Art, I think I will wait until the air dries more before I add the finish. I'm aware of how seasonal sinew backed bows can be. Elkie fluctuated about 20# depending on the R/H.
  JonW, looking forward to seeing your shorty.

Good to see this one back in progress Pat, looks great and gonna be real good looking shooter when done I'd say. Nice bend in that one!
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Definitely one of the nicer recurves I've seen Pat! I'm good with slow and steady if they look like that :)

I enjoyed looking at the entire process on this bow. Awesome work.

Also noticed how much my own workshop looks compared to yours and PatB's.  :laugh:  Glad I'm not the only mad scientist making wood shavings.

Tim, you wouldn't recognise my shop now. I did a clean up 2 weeks ago to have my air handler worked on. Don't worry, it will be back to normal soon.  :o
