My first build is just about complete. I sprayed it with spar urethane yesterday morning and want to give it another 12 hours before I string it up and get that full draw picture. Until then, here are a few pictures of it - admittedly not very good pictures. This is a Kenny M design. Thanks to Kenny for the form template, lams and the question answering.
This was a learning experience for me. I made mistakes, but did manage to recover from most of them. The finished product has some flaws in it. I missed my target weight by 5 pounds. I had to do a good bit of sanding to get it tillered correctly, but I got a shooter on my first attempt that's what I was hoping for. Came in at 40#. The bow is free of hand shock and completely silent, even without string silencers.
The warnings should be posted more clearly on this site. I am completely addicted and have already started on a recurve form and I'm thinking not just about build number two, but three and four.
Here are some pictures of the almost finished product:
