That bend profile on those limbs looks a lot like a BL bow I was working on several years ago. I had to abandon it because it was too unstable
RyanY:
That’s definitely a concern of mine. I’ll be taking an inch or two off the tips of the recurve so they’re not so aggressive. Just left them long for the bending process. I’ll have to decide how much deflex to glue in choosing between overall reflex and stability.
Pat B:
Interesting project, Ryan. Once you get the tips shaped and you still have visible cracks a thin overlay should give enough strength to hold their shape.
Have you thought about a bracing jig to get the bow with such radicle hooks braced. Basically it is a board with 3 pegs, handle at one peg and the hooks at the other two. You can probably find a drawing or photo on Google.
RyanY:
Thanks Pat. I haven’t but that’s a great idea. I’ll definitely look into it.
