Yes Mark it heated up and I ent right in place. Getting the glue joints tight was a pain.

 this one looks like a winner, can't wait to see it finished.

That’s quite a pronounced deflex for a selfbow.  Gonna be cool!  Are you using a handle glue up section after heat treat?

Steven Bieber of provision longbows is making some very curvy and deflexed recurves. He did a huge bend on one at the last classic I went to. I was blown away at how much bend he got with dry heat. Looks good Arvin. How do you get Alan to send you a bow design? Sounds like a good deal.  (-S

Ryan we have been flight shooting together for about five years now. Become friends and we love braking records. He’s a smart guy! lots of smart guys. I call them my Big Bang buddy’s.  I will thin out the ends and heat them again.

Just barely cracked the back. That was 3/4” thick.

I will end up with about 1-3/4” shelf for over draw on a 24” arrow.

Second heat session. Tip thinned and a bit more narrow. Now bent to full recurve .
