Good looking bow country, nice recovery to.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Pearl, I was thinking about curving the tips like your last one, but it shot well.  I have never made a static recurve.

That was a nice bow you built.

Thanks man. If the stave is naturally (mostly) straight, recurves as easy as flat bows.
