1- clear uni-welf glass
1- piece of phenolic for riser
and some osage that was laying around

62" one piece static recurve

I added 3" more reflex to this one

   


As soon as I got it strung

   

I new sooner are later I was going to have to put the tip lams as a core.

Lost count how many I broke....   :eek:   Its a learning curve.

cant see mark- but did it break right where your spruce overlays ended- maybe then the insert cores- faded in nicely might help more

That's a boatload of reflex. Bet it's fast ... And scary to string.

Very interested to keep seeing the evolution of see extreme static tip bows.

Nicely done cross-over between modern cutaway handle and ancient Manchu string-bridged design.  Personally I'd like one without the modern "prosthetic" grip   :deadhorse:   ...

interresting  nocks mate- but they would make me nervous- scared the string would fly off- totally unfounded though- just very different.
how did the cores work out for you. a little bit trickier to layup, but seems to work well
cheers

The layup on these bow is hard to do
but i like the challenge

I made a R/D bow in 1/3 the time

awesome job man- looks great
looks like you have the hose on the back of the bow- looks like that worked great!!   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

fujimo

what are the dimensions of that bow-
length when strung
length of statics
and angle of statics.

i found that the one i built was really stacking the last 2 inches of draw for my draw length- i am going to have to build a slightly longer bow now for my DL.
