I’m amazed how far you bent the the center section as far as you did. Must really be great growth rings. I’ve got my fingers crossed that knot on the recurve works out. If anybody can handle it, it would be you.

Heck that looks like a primo stave Arvin.

Carry on. You got it under control.

Have you ever tried gluing on thin laminates on your built up handles. It really does help to keep them from popping off.

I’m going to have a lot of time on the heat bench with this one.

+1 on the thin laminate handle build up.

This certainly doesn't look like a typical AW bow...but I like it.

It will be fun watching what you end up with on this one Arvin.

Looking good Arvin, lots of heat corrections but you love that anyway.

Cleaned up the handle a bit.

Pappy · « **Reply #26 on:** **Today** at 09:35:43 am »

O ya, looking like a bow now, that should be a smooth sweet shooter. Nice job.

That is coming along nicely. Really looking forward to seeing how you finish it up. There is a lot happening in only 58 inches.

Looking good.

It continues to amaze me how receptive Osage is to heat. A lot of pretty snaky staves have been tamed by you guys.
