Finished this light weight recurve for myself. Nothing fancy, solid Ash handle with Waterfall Bubinga and clear glass on back. Limbs are grey Action wood and black glass. Tip reinforcement is Lignostone. On the tiller tree the bow is pulled a bit below where it actually will be pulled. Even tiller and it is mapped at brace and at 20inches to see that the limbs are bending exactly the same.

Nice looking bow and I like the way it bends.  How wide is it at the fades?  Those narrow tips are very appealing.

What is lignostone?  For that matter, what is a revurve? :)

Nice unit I like the Earth tone colors.

At end of limb pads width is 1 19/32 inch narrowing in almost straight taper to 19/32 inch just before nocks.
The bow use a 59 inch fast flight string.
Lignostone is Beech wood that is resin impregnated and compressed with heat under large pressure. It has twice the weight of normal Beech wood and is very strong material, both in tension and compression. Before steel was used Lignostone was used as edges on skies.

Thanks for the update.  I'm going to look into the lignostone.
