Alright, I'm jealous.  I'm curious, when making a recurve like that do you tiller before or after you bend the tips.  Common sense tells me you tiller after the bends are added.  Do tell!

That's awesome!!

Nice piece 'o work but you know...

Proof is in the pudding, lets see that sucker drawn!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Here are a couple of pictures unstrung and at full draw. I'll also answer a couple of questions - I get the bow floor tillered before I bend the recurves. Also since I planned on the underlays I sand them down after bending with a belt sander about 3/16" smaller than I expect the finished tip. To prep the horn I "slabbed" just under 1/4" strips with my bandsaw, sanded back smooth and then used a heat gun on my jig to bend the same as the recurved tip. Once cool, I fit the horn and bow, cleaned with acetone and glued with smooth on epoxy. Hope this answers some questions. Thanks again for looking and your comments. Tommy

That is a very nice bow. Like all parts of it.
I dream of having one like it someday.
You did a great job.

Well done sir.

Yes, very nice. You do quality work.

Great idea on heating and bending the horn, I never even thought of doing that to horn.

See you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Nice looking bow.

Thats a beauty

That is awesome.  Hope you are planning to sign up for the next bowswap, someone would be a very happy with a bow like that.  I know I would be.  Have a soft spot for wooden recurves, even though I never had one.

Very nice indeed! I wanted to put underlays on my next bow that was also going to have glued on flipped tips but didn't think I could do both. Now I see I can!
