So here are some progress pics i should have mentioned that this will be a board bow. I dont have any staves dry yet and the ones i do have are red oak so i wouldnt be able to use it for this project anyway. Still pretty long so when i cut it to its final length it will have 2 inches of deflex then i will recurve the limbs and more at the tips. i went with a v splice and added a back piece and now i will be adding the riser block in after i finish sanding it down. i also kept it pretty wide (1.75"). After i add the riser block i will shape the limbs and reflex them and heat treat them (i will take pics). I am aiming for 50-55 #@28" for this bow. 60 to 62 '' ntn.
