Beautiful lines. Tiller looks very good also.    Are those pads under the string just below the nocks for silencers or are they used as bridges?     Pat

Nice bow. Was the deflex put into the handle with dry heat or steam?  The lines of that bow are really sweet.

62".   I like your bow.   I am making a bow with an inset handle that is also 62" (158cm).  How long did you steam the ends for those recurves?  I keep getting splinters raised.  Where are you from?  Prost.

I steam each reflex 3-4 times 10 - 15 minutes. I comes from Poland. In my country bow making is not very popular. We have only 2 "profesional" bow makers in Poland.  I make bows about 2 years.

What is the draw length in your full draw picture. Does it crank back further? Beautiful bow and bookmarked for June Self Bow of the Month.
Title: Re: my self elm recurve
Post by: chaetaux on June 21, 2008, 02:39:23 pm
on foto draw lenght is 26" , 28 " is full draw . Before I make good foto bow stay in full draw about 30 seconds , so I dont like such situations in "fresh" bows.
