How do you guys recurve your tips. I have an osage stave that looks like gull wing. Want to recurve tips some to see if it will improve bow. I think that would be better than forcing a lot of change in the stave using my form.
Steam and a caul.
A qt paint can makes a fine static radius template. I prefer steaming 3/4" sq tips for 45-50 minutes.
Paint can I like that idea. Thanks
For slight recurve, say anything under 30 degrees, I use a heatgun. Anything over that, I prefer to boil the tips for 45 minutes or so.
