Excellent bow Timo. I was just reading over that how-to a few days ago and was thinking about giving it a try. I'll probably wait a bit now so it will be harder for people to compare my attempt to yours. ;D  I hope you are bringing some of these babies you have been cranking out to OJAM so I can eyeball them over and pick your brain.

Thanks  ya'll ,I knew when I traded for those skins that I was gonna use them on a white wood bow, and it was gonna be for me.

Nate, I get first dibs on another set if you ever get them. Blue moon or no! ;)

Rick, I used dry heat to put in the recurves, Very slow, mainly a gravity bend. I did have a bit of separation on the belly, but I had left it thick enough to compensate for it. Another thing about winged elm is keeping it dry during tillering, if it starts taking fatigue,then put it back in the hot box.

Thanks again all.
