Heat treated, no backing other than the snake skins.

Howdy Ryano,

Wow!!  That's impressive!

Do you have any pictures of the of the Bend-Up? 
What size (or length) radius did you use? 
Were the tips on the rounded part of the form or were they past the radius, as you clamped things in? 
And, on your limbs, what radius did you end up with - how much bend did you loose?

I'm interested in doing my first "flipped tips." 
I have a bow, that I like very much, but the last seven inches, or so, are a bit too bendy - stacking. 
I'm wondering if flipping the tips would help against the stacking?

Thanks much,
Canoe

Gorgeous - nice work on the nocks! I'll bet the full draw picture is going to look great, too.
