I use a form also,I try and get it all at once if it ant to bad,like Pat said you can use a tapered shim between the back of the bow and the form and clamp at the top or bottom  to over bend a little to get bad propeller out,just don't tighten the clamps to tight or you can mar the back of the bow.Some propeller won't hunt as long as the string will stay on but I usuall try and get it out,just because it is usually pretty easy to do, make tillering easier to see ,so why leave it. ;) :)

Bruce...why did you post pics of poop?  ??? No one wants to see that crap around here  ::)  :laugh:  :laugh:

To add on to the form and wood wedges,use soft wood for your wedges...and remember guys he's making a recurve so most if not all of the twist needs removed otherwise twist and recurves don't mix to well together...on a straight tipped bow sure,no biggy..but not so much with a recurve...and me personally when I choose to make a recurve its gonna be from a good clean(mostly) STRAIGHT stave(lil to zero twist)...it just makes things easier to line up and not have to fight with IMHO

I'm trying to figure out how to do the recurves and the reflexing at once. Any sketches for a quick caul? Much appreciated

Recurves and reflexing cant happen at the same time in my opinion, not a true static anywho. get the bow reflexed and straightened, then add the statics. You can check out my Hackberry static build along if you want to see my static forms.
