steam recurving question

(1/3) > >>

BOWMAN53:
HOW DO YOU DO IT! Lol I wanna make my first recurve but I don't know how to do it. I can make the jig I just don't know how to go about it.

Tshank:
Start with a hot plate, a stock pot, a lot of aluminum foil to act like a lid wrapped around the stave and a lot of patience.  Remember to use gloves because it will be a bit hot for bare skin. Bend starting at the handle side.

PEARL DRUMS:
3" radius statics will work for any bow dang near. Trace a quart paint can on a 2 x 6 and make a form.

BOWMAN53:
Thats a good idea with the can, im gonna make a form this week.

PEARL DRUMS:
This what mine look like. Keep it longer so you can be sure your bow is straight as you bend the recurve in.
