Recycled Recurve...Another Yew Tri Lam.
« on: April 11, 2015, 03:59:12 am »
Hi Guys,

Here is another bow I just finished. This was spliced handled ELB......but alas the splice failed and it returned to the wall....Until last week!
I cut the limbs down, planed of the sapwood and got a new flat surface, then remarked and cut a new splice and glued her up. I then used dry heat to bend in some recurve, prepared a hickory core and pole bamboo back. I really like this recipe. And glued her up with a little more reflex than i used on the last recurve. Bow has come out exceptionaly well, and is an excellent shooter. I think I have found my new target/3D bow.
45 @ 28", 64"NtN. hickory and buff horn splayed overlays with hickory riser highlight.

Very nice save. Great looking tip overlays and a sweet bend to her.

Nice bow.

Beautiful work and a nice save indeed. I agree that braced profile is killer and nothing shabby about the look at full draw either, that grouping of arrows in the target proves that.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
