58" NTN   31#@28"

I used the same limb reflex/Radius as my static recurves and changed the last 7" on the tips
The limbs are parallel to the last 7" .004 total taper



koa and red and black phenolic overlays



Curly walnut


sap wood of the walnut
black and red phenolic and red core flex and koa stripes


red glass and black phenolic tip overlays

That's a beauty- those limbs are bending nicely!!

But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

That is a very pretty bow!  Kia and curly walnut make a good combo

Nice looking bow, the Koa goes good with the other woods.  I am curious at how the last 7" of parallel helps the performance of the bow, vs tapered?
An hour in the shop is worth two in the yard

sorry the last 7" is where the two radius (limb and tip) goes into the recurve and the limbs get narrow to the nock

no hand shock and 31#   305 grain arrow 157/158 fps

did I get that straight ?

Oh, OK Mark, I misunderstood what you meant there.  That is a good fps for such a light bow.
