Nice! Can you explain what kind of radiator you used to heat treat the limbs and how you used it?

The bow and shop are both just fabulous.  I am totally going to copy everything when I redo my shop this summer (no really, this is the year it's going to happen)!

It’s a fairly generic wall mounted space heater I got off ebay, very similar to the setup SimK uses. It’s suspended with grow light fixtures so the height is easily adjustable.  I keep the bow in a little portable vise at an angle because the thinner tips usually go a little quicker.

That is a clean sharp looking shop, you can be just as proud of that as you can your bows
In the woods I find my peace
