Really nice bow. well done.
You could probably lose a fair bit of weight at the recurves. Anything handle side of the string contact point could be working limb. If you look at the thinnest point of the working limb and make your recurve a fraction thicker than than point. That is all the thickness you nee to stop them bending.
you could probably have added a little more reflex when the sinew was drying but thats about it!
thank you bownarra, I agree in all points. I also should have made it thinner or a deeper heat treatment. I wanted a draw of 30 but that's about it ;D. I will leave the recurves for now, when I have more under my belt, that's my first sinew baked bow!, I will probably slim the levers.

Thank you bradsmith and WillB
