Can’t wait to see this bow finished. That looks like a screamer.

Great build along. The sinew looks really nice! Should be interesting stringing it initially with all that reflex. Thanks for taking us along with the photos, video and description.

Thanks guys. Lookin forward to getting this bending and tillered up. It will need a stringer for sure I think. I’ve strung them up with push pull method before but it wasn’t pretty. I’ll see about getting a stringer made up to go with it if the bow retains 7” or more of it reflex. It may not be too bad. I may also use string bridges at the general area of the apex of the recurves. This will help with getting it strung up I think and not slipping the string so easily. I’ll post updates in a week or so. Thanks for following along.
Cheers.
Dave

Here’s some pic updates next day after dried up a bit. Color looks really good and solid. I saved the longest bundles for one continuous layer on each limb. Hard to tell from the pics but it layed down nice. I ended the sinew pretty well right at the bend.
