Here is what Cesar had to say about his build: Howdy folks. A while back I got a stave from Roy. he said it was 20 years old or so. When I say the stave I immedeatly knew what bow I was going to build. Despite having a slight reflex in the center I knew it was to become a deflex recurve bow. I worked it down to one ring and steam bent the handle. Shaped it some more and did the statics which I must admit I lOooVE. I added about 3 layers of leg sinew to the limbs. Limbs are 2 inches wide. The stave was 60 inches but I cut it down to 54 inches so the bow is 54 tip to tip. I also added some nice and paper thin sheep rawhide after the sinew to put on the decoration. My GF painted it as always. It also has horn overlays. The bow ended up 43lbs @ 28 inches of draw. No stack and shoots fast, I think this is a great bow for bow hunting in the bush. if I still have it by aug-sept I will take it bow hunting with me.
Here are some pics.
