Reflexed Ocean Spray
« on: November 27, 2025, 01:22:41 pm »
Looking for ideas on what to do with a highly reflexed 74" ocean spray stave.  Upper limb on right is reflexed 6"  lower limb 9".  I was considering reflexing the handle with steam to deflex limbs and make a reflex deflex bow.  Or should i leave as is and get tillering with no changes.

     I would deflex the handle. It would be very unstable with all that reflex

What he says  ;D
Plus, with that much reflex, it will be hell's own job to brace it, and then it may end up under weight because it's been worked down so much just to brace it.
