BowEd:
Yes it is a bit of overkill in size that is needed really.I did want it to be 1.5" thick though.
So I made a lighter weight more portable type out of a 2" by 12".Setting on top of the first I made in the picture.It will attach to the back end of my pickup easily for use in the field.
For future horn bows or similar I feel it will come in handy someday.

Well I've been commissioned to make a 150# recurve so I'll have to get my old bracing jig out of storage or make a new and improved one
BowEd:
Zoweee!!!That's a war bow!My arm is sore just thinking about that poundage.A recurve...How short a recurve?
You'll have to use at least 3/4" thick pegs to hold those tips into place.....lol.Hope you show it along the way when it's done.Is it supposed to be a laminate or a sinewed bow?Surely not a self bow.
Marc St Louis:
Well I've never made a recurve over 90# so this will be a challenge. It will be drawn to 32" and used for target so I'll make it long enough to survive for awhile
Stick Bender:
That one sounds like a long range target bow Yikes ! I have never met any body that could pull a 150 lb. Bow !
