Been really busy in the shop. Got 4 bows going 2 in the finish booth and the others waiting to get in. Shot a set of OMC carbon limbs I recently made. They are really impressive and I don't seem to have stiff enough arrows for them.   

It would be great to get some of the details on working with the woven carbon on recurves.  Stack height/weight, etc.  I've only worked with the Uni carbon on longbows so far.

I talked to OMC before I glued anything. They told me it will add 7-10 pounds but also depends on design. I made a stack based on a 40# formula ended up with a 60# bow. I narrowed the limbs just a bit and ended up with 55#. Now 55 is on the stiff side of what I like but it doesn't feel like 55. I have checked weight several times and the scale doesn't lie.

Bue that looks super I like a dark colored bow.

Did you pick up any performance with the carbon?

For the sake of clarity, when you calculated your stack did you use the stack for the 40# bow and then add the carbon, or did you use the 40# stack with the carbon included in the stack?

... single or double carbon?

I used a 40#  limb stack and used the carbon in place of glass. I figured if it added 10# I would end up with a 50# bow.
The layup was. Carbon
                       Taper
                  Stable kore.
                    Veneer
                      Glass

As for performance it wouldn't shoot my 340 carbons set up for a 58#er. I had to cut an 1" off and lighten up the point. The stability of the limbs are awesome but I haven't chronograph it yet.

Got this bow to 21 inches with a 6.5" brace...

First time braced here in picture at 4.5 inches. Looks very even thus far.

A lot of fine looking shooting sticks over the last few days. Nice work fellas!!!

I'm impressed every day by the talent I see here.

Post another picture of Squid..

Don't you have a bow(or two) to tiller?

Shop is closed.

It's Captain Morgan on ice time....

Some really nice looking bows being made here - well done guys!

I got the grained filled on the riser on Roy's bow.  Should be able to spray it in the next few days.  Getting close Roy.
