Bert Frelink · « **Reply #3 on:** October 03, 2009, 02:30:00 PM »

What a beauty, love that walnut in the core. How did you get those recurves to bend that tightly? steam and prebend? Kirk

Bert Frelink · « **Reply #6 on:** October 03, 2009, 04:17:00 PM »

Yes Kirk, boiled the Walnut and Osage then bend them together on a form.

Then did the same with the Bamboo and bend it on the same form, was a little tricky to get the proper length on the Bamboo so it would all fit.

hehe chupa

life's about nice curves ain't it? :D

...wich is exactly what that bow has.

she reminds me of the old all-wooden recurves of the pre-glass era. Real classic lines.

I Agree, AWSOME Work!! Does it have any Glass Lams? I cant See Any if it does. Just Curious!! That IS a Gorgeous Wood Combo!!

Bert Frelink · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2009, 09:20:00 AM »

Bill,
no glass lam's, but I was worried the curves would pull out and was going to laminate some overlays on the belly side a la "Grumley" but decided instead to laminate a 8" tapered piece of 0.050 brown glass between the Osage and the Walnut, worked like a charm!!
Thank you guys for all the great comments I really appreciate them

Full draw pictures are on the way.
Regards.
Bert.
