Looks great. You can also reshape the belly side of the recurve so that there is a ridge that a longer loop can straddle. Definitely make a choice as to having a groove and smaller loop or a ridge and larger loop.
 The Korean bows use the larger loop technique.

i was going to go for a groove but decided to put string bridges instead. i will make a new string with a smaller loop for this bow. i just chucked this one together to tiller the bow. thanks for all the comments and advice  :)

Osage+Sinew+Snake Skins= COOL  Nice work.




I couldn't agree more ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Love it, well done, osage shorties forever, chrono it with a light arrow(200grs or less) and you' ll be done.
Try it next time shorter, without any backing!

Sweet bow Danny, nicely done and those skins are killer looking.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
