I like that, looks smooth and fast! Personally I love a little reflex bend in molly tips, nothing to do with a replica but looks really cool

is there a reason for the long string grooves?

It's not string grooves. There is just a contradiction in reflexed molly tips. If you don't mak'm a bit bulky they are soon unstable. therefore you best do a trapezial shape. then you reduce mass and tiller it by hollow limbing...that's what Wolfgang said and I tried.
Cheers

Looks very fast. I think the limbs could be even more thin from ends. Nice job

That really is a beautiful bow!I'm not sure I would try that in a self bow without sinew?great work!

hey mr bushboy, your little molle was pretty impressive and inspiring for me - no heat treating, no sinew!!!

As the tiller had changed to negative I on monday added another 6,5 gramms of sinew on the lower limb. tiller is good and stable now. also did a new grip and better pics for you - cheers
