<< < (2/3) > >>

BOWMAN53:

hurlbri1:
This is probably a dumb question, but is a tip steamed, then formed like yours Pearl, a working recurve or a static recurve?

Haithabu:
That depends on how u proceed, but working  recurved limbs with a selfbow are kinda tough.

If they dont move they are static.  Working recurves are basically "flipped" tips as we call them. Basically the degree of bend is lesser and the limb will be thinned enough to work as the bow is drawn, yet keeping a nice string angle.

Ok, I think I got it--thanks!  I'll be copying that curve jig as well...
