Hillbilly:
I think that this is the bow that Ryan used that shape form on:

Looks like to me it held a lot of it.I don't expect it to hold it all anyway.I have never bent one that radical but from what I have seen on other bends on all wood bows it will hold about 1/2 of what
you put in them maybe a little more.That is why when I straighten one I go more than it needs and it will come out about where you want it. :)

GregB:
Justin, we and Ryan have two different forms...one for working recurve and one for static recurve. I attempted to match them as close as I could from some dimensioning Ryan had posted, and visually looking at the forms and comparing the arc's. So far we've only used the static recurve form on one bow, and Pappy wasn't there with his camera to take pictures of that bow. All the pictures you've seen thus far from us were of a bow off the working recurve form. The picture of Ryan's bow you posted was of a static recurve I'm pretty sure. Look at how the tips are thick for 6" or so.

Beyond that, I probably can't answer much and Ryan will have to jump in here. We havn't experienced tillering one of these jewels yet. ;D

Justin Snyder:
Yea, I understand now that Hillbilly posted the other pictures.  I was confused for a minute, but I am going to blame that on Ryan for posting the wrong recurve.  ;D Justin

Ryano:
Justin, actually I posted both because he said they were doing both working and static. Look again at the pictures they are labeled "static" and" Working"  ;D

As I said earlier you lose a lot of the reflex, what length did you make the blanks ?
