1930's inspired flightbow 41" recurve 72# @18"
PatM:
Nice shorties. Does lilac bend easily for recurving? I've never tried bending it since I'm always trying to lengthen short pieces and splicing in tips instead.
JNystrom:
Thanks!
Actually....no it doesn't. Recurve's of the one in that tiller tree split awfully, but since it was super piece of lilac I just decided to glue them together and put a belly patch. The second one I'm pulling by hand was better, but still not perfect. Osage is like a walk in the park compared to lilac.
Lilac often has quite some twist in it, which makes recurving pain in the ass.
I might try splicing the tips on next one, since I would also like to have more length than this 50".
