Title: One piece bow form ??
Post by: Appalachian Hillbilly on November 10, 2021, 06:50:11 AM

When yall make one piece bows, do you have a form for each different length?

Say a form for a 58" recurve vs a 60"?

Yes.  You pretty much have to have two forms for two sizes of recurve.  With straight bows I build one long form and put in just the lengths of glass and lams as I need.

Usually yes, but you can make it a little shorter or longer with the same form, and decide what you like best.
