60" Osage Sinew backed Recurve in progress

[Danzn Bar]

My big concern is the top limb is stiffer than the bottom

Yep.  2 big recurvey hinges.  Good eye One bow

 Decurve. I swear you know almost nothing about bow terminology, especially for these more complex builds.

It all depends on how you are looking at the bow Pat

It's been 5 weeks since I put the sinew on, so I got it out and did some work on it.  Sorry Gutshot and Osage Outlaw just couldn't wait 2 more weeks............

That looks great!  I bet that is a fast shooting bow.  You better bring it with you when you come over. 

[---GUTSHOT--->]

That does look sweet. What kea weight did you end up with.

[bubby]

Dannnnng dbar that looks good!!!!!!

[bradsmith2010]

that turned out great,, congrats
if you really think the top limb is toos stiff, turn it over and shoot it a bit,, I bet it will even out,,

[Danzn Bar]

Gut ..you would have to ask .....It came in way short of my target.  Wasn't paying attention and got a hinge right after brace.  It's only pulling about 40.
I'm going to shorten it 2" and see how much that helps.  I don't expect it to help much with the recurves, but we'll see. 
Pretty disappointed at this point, but live an learn.  It will make a great kids or ladies bow.  See ya in a couple of weeks.

Thanks bubby and Brad, but it's a little light.

wait, dont cut it,, it will slow it down,,,
put another layer of sinew to get the weight up,,

[osage outlaw]

I bet it picks up a few more lbs as the sinew cures out more

[gfugal]

Even at 40 lbs it kept a lot of that ridiculous reflex. That plus the recurved tips will translate to a much faster 40 lb bow than most any other. Speed is what's important. If it shoots as fast as a 50 lb bow it's even better that its 40 lbs.
