Hackberry recurve build along, real time hopefully. ** DONE **
k-hat:
Looks like she's gonna be quite the speed demon! Nice work and graceful curves. Can't wait to see her skinned out!
PEARL DRUMS:
She IS quite a speed demon Kevin. As of now she has all of 4" of relfex. I shot it last night a bit.

PEARL DRUMS:
1 hour - skins and grooves, plus sanding.
I shot the bow about 25-30 times today at 26", very fast little thing. The tiller looked good in the mirror. No photographer yet. The bow is drawing 42# @ 26". Im really hoping it gains another 2-4#'s this summer. Its time for string grooves on the belly of the statics. I braced the bow and made a pencil line where the string stopped touching the belly. Thats where my groove will end. I grabbed a 3/16" round file and file a groove half its diameter dead center until I find my pencil mark. Go slow here, its too easy to make worm tracks with a round file. I roll up some 50 grit and clean the grooves out some and make sure my grooves in my tips run into my belly groove.
