Tigerwood veneers with edge grain hickery core. Wood on the left is lace wood that I'm gonna use in the handle riser

Finally got a new backing strip cut and prepped, and glued the bow up today. Hope to get it unclamped and cleaned up tomorrow. Will try to get a pic up when I get that far.

Worked a little bit this weekend. I am working on a new form for a recurve. I built the original form for my first recurve last summer and decided to tweak it a little bit before I make another. I guess I am using my victim as a "guinea pig". I am going to have to just guess on stack thickness for making weight.

I was also thinking it might be a good idea to say if we shoot 3 under or split. I don't think that was in the original sign up. If my guy sees this, I shoot 3 under.

Re sawed the veneers today and sanded them down some.
I'm going to wait till close to glueup to sand them to .030.

Max, that's going to be a real beauty.

I'm going to plan B, my plan A just popped a big split on my hickory backing strip, about 8" from the tip. Had it almost to my recipient's draw length when it popped. Plan B will be an osage bend through the handle bow.
