New Recurve Bow
richgibula:
While mulling over a new ironwood bow, I finished a recurve and thought that I would brag about it here. Its a 55 inch bamboo and black walnut laminate recurve with a padauk handle. The string is 20 winds of 40# spectra line. The draw weight is 55# @ 28 inches. The handle is the closest I could get to a clay cast of my son's grip, for whom this lefty bow was made.

Quite a lot of recurve and reflex/deflex for a wood bow. It must have been a challenge to tiller.
Did you have a formula for the thicknesses of the lam layup?
Have much thickness to take off when you finished it out?
