Hey guys i wasnt going to post this one but figured it may be of some use to someone. Its is not my typical bow build but i had a belly split that was a little too thin at the one end to do much else with it so i figured why not make a bendy bow with it. It will be 48-50lbs at 25-26". I may shorten up the recurve tips a bit. just over an inch wide and 48" ntn. I dont have my tiller tree set up yet in the new shop so im doing this one old school over my knee.lol. Anyway the bend is not looking to bad at brace. Ill get it pulling to about 24" and see where im at. Ill post some updates as i make more progress.

Yep that is looking good so far, don't take much Osage to make a workable bow.

That's looking great so far, I really like the bendy handled static bows and would love to build one. They look like the cupid bows hah. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
