Plan b, Well decided I didn't vibe with the handle block I glued on after the ring split. Also had the twist come back in the handle. She's a tricky old girl. But we're getting along a lot better than the first few dates. If all that is said about BL is true and she spent Chrystal, she's gonna be a rocket. We will see.

What do u think I should put on the handle? Fancy or no? It needs a little block of something

+1 Bubby, I think this would make a great bendy handled recurve. This thing is just waiting to be outrageously fast and light.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Sorry I haven't gotten back in awhile, it's been a busy week.  Pat got it right, Sea Grape grows natively down here as a beach break.  The stuff I find is landscaped out of people's yards and legal.  It is very light, fast and flexible if done right.  Feels like a sinew backed bow without the sinew when bending...

makes you curious what it would be like if it was sinewed

Some mighty fine looking bows being posted thus far. Our weather has been terrible with a few nice days popping up between the bitter cold and wind. I do most of my bow building outdoors (I'm getting old and can't see without natural light). I've made some progress although not sure my first choice of wood is going to work to my satisfaction. As soon as this weather breaks I'll hunker down, get to work, and post some progress pics.

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Warbows are pretty long and bendy handled. :)
