Building the Vine Maple Bow - Finished
Gordon:
Hey Manny,
I would use steam to straighten out that side bending limb and then hit it with some dry heat to convince it to stay. There isn't much you can do about the excessive reflex other than use methods similar to those I describe in this build-a-long to work it out.
It is good to hear from you my friend!
Gordon
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Thanks Gordon,
I'll do that on the outer limb.
Do you think the same method would work to deflex the fades ?

Manny, I do not think that will work. The fades will likely return to their former reflexed profile because the reflex is due to tension. At least that has been my experience.
paco664:
just wanted to toss in a humble thank you for taking the time and effort to do this for us newbies...
Gordon:
Thank you Paco, I appreciate the kind words.
