RyanY:
Buckthorn is really interesting wood. Beautiful stuff. Would be great to see Cody make a comeback at some point.

superdav95:
Looks like a cool hld bow build with moly design.  Should be a cool look. 

Zugul:
I'll follow this thread with interest, a Mollegabet hollow limb bow is definitely a design I want to try, someday

Parnell:
This stave was naturally deflexed so I’m thinking to keep that out of the grip and flip the levers.

Anyone have thoughts on how much would be the best benefit?  I gave it some yesterday evening.

bjrogg:
How long is it Steve?  Which side is back? top? What draw weight and length are you looking for?

I have never used buckthorn but maybe someone who has will know how it behaves for heat correction. Maybe you can just put it on a form and shape the profile how you want it.

Good luck.

As for flipping tips.

I personally feel the like people with long draws tend to like straighter profile bows.

I feel like people with short draws tend to like reflex.

My exposure to large numbers to observe is limited though.

Just my thoughts.

I think if you don’t go to short with a nice short but fairly aggressive recurve you can really pick up early string tension and not overstress your design.
