Is that a pyramid style? Looks like the limb depth is uniform from the fades to the tips. How deep is it. You said 1 3/4" wide to 1/2" tips right? I like it.

thanks all,   i dont know about a build along, when i get some more osage cured perhaps we'll see. Ryano would be the guy to ask for a recurve buildalong. he exceeds my recurve abilities.
also sawfiler and mechlasher stand out to me as great "recurvers" aswel

the limbs are 1 3\4 wide,from the grip to about 18-19 down the limbs and then taper to 1\2.
thanks for the fireplace compliments aswell- Ryan

a truely sweet recurve!  of all the bow designs, that is my favorite full draw profile.  if you thin those tips down to 3/8" or even 5/16" you might be able to quiet her down a little.

mechslasher, belive it or not, it quieted itelf down. it seemed to work out the kinks and now doesnt make much noise at all.....go figure
kinda like the theory on arrows, i can make some from raw shoots and they fly all over the place but after 10 shots or so, they straighten right out, funny how wood can be trained
