Good job Kris. I built a static recurve about 13 years agp. To bend the ends, I used crisco ( wiped on the limb, and an open flame ( gas grill burner) didn't scortch the wood. I heated the area to be bent with a circular motion and when the wood started to feel "loose" I placed the end in a form that was the same angle that I was trying to achieve. I like the idea of using the heat gun. Keep up the good work.

Looking good Kris.  I love that design, it is going to be a good shooter

I hope you had some type of padding on the pipe wrench that is applying pressure on the back side of the limb.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I guess I left that minor detail out didn't I. lol

 I pad the jaws of the wrench with thick leather as well as the vise.

 Thanks for the compliments.

 I been thinking about trying Shaun's tillering method on this. Here's the link to Shauns ELB build

This is gonna help me Kris with the billets DVS sent me, they are a little snakey, but not bad. They are 16% now, so it's going to be quite a few months till I start on them. I mostly build BBO bows from osage slats. Need to get my feet wet with selfbows of character:) I have played the heat gun with weight game several times.

Good toot Kris.. ^5

Glad to see someones getting something out of it Roy, I guess an old dog can learn new tricks.    :laughing:  (Couldn't help it buddy)  I'll be picking your brain when I get ready to do another BBO of the R/D type.

 I think I'm gonna build a BBO hill on next boo bow. I'm thinking boo backed with bloodwood core and osage belly.

She broke at about twenty inches. Lifted a real bad splinter on the edge that ran about 4" long and into the limb. I'm gonna start another one soon.

If you ain't breakin' you ain't makin'

 fortunately I don't break as many as I used to. It don't even bother me any more. I just grad another one and go after it.  

 These static tips have been my nemesis though and I bound and determined to get one done.

 What happened to that one Roy?
