Inaugural “junior” bow trade
Muskyman:
Okay I finally got around to bending some reflex into the bow. I don’t think I really heated up quite as much as I should have. Ended up with about 2-1/2 inches in it. Also the limb that has the little dipsy do in it seems to bend a little different than the other. Haven’t decided what I’m going to do with that yet. I already redid it to try and make it look better and improved it some.
Should I try again?
Also should I put the overlays on the tips before I start the tillering? I’m thinking whitetail antler tips. I’ll at least get it bending some before I do, floor tilling it some first before putting my overlays on.
Last question. I’ve glued t wood overlays on with gel superglue. Should I use a different glue with the whitetail antler overlays?
Sending a couple pics of the reflex. Thinking I’ll check the profiles by tracing them out on some paper and checking against each other.
Any thoughts?

Oh my, now I like that side profile just like that!
Muskyman:
To late JW I already heated and bent it a fuzz. It actually fits the profile of the other limb better now. It wasn’t real bad but when I drew the profile of the better limb it was off a little on the last 8 inches or so. So I clamped it and focused on that part and got it a little better.
Now how about those tips 😁

I think it looks great! Mine's still a long way behind... this is some good motivation, hoping to make some headway over the weekend.
