Are the recurves dynamic??

Thanks medicinewheel.  I think the recurves might bend just a smidge.  This was my first recurve build and I noticed a few posts that the recurves were sometimes pulling out.  So I tried to get them to work a little but I feared I might go too far with the tillering and cause them to pull out and lose em.  So to answer your question... They "work" but they might be a little lazy :P ;) LOL    By the way... thanks again for the "tips" on your tip overlay post.  I learned a lot from you 8) 8) 8)  Joe H

That will keep you out of the doghouse for sure! ;D Great looking bow, prairie rattlers add a nice touch to a well tillered bow.

Beautiful bow and very nice work!  I have one very similar, but a little heavier poundage.  Gotta love those osage recurves! ;) :)

Thanks Tracy - It's also a good way to get OUT of the doghouse if your already there! :D

Thanks Tombow  :)

Thanks Brownhillboy - I tried to make it 45 pounds for my wife but lost a couple pounds.  I don't have a chrono but, it seems to throw an arrow about as fast as my 50 pound long bow! ;D

The heart bead detail is a Great touch !!! The tips are beautifully crafted, and overall the bow is a 10 out of 10 !! Great job on a handcrafted gift - the best kind !!!
