Been really busy in the shop. Got 4 bows going 2 in the finish booth and the others waiting to get in. Shot a set of OMC carbon limbs I recently made. They are really impressive and I don't seem to have stiff enough arrows for them. 
It would be great to get some of the details on working with the woven carbon on recurves. Stack height/weight, etc. I've only worked with the Uni carbon on longbows so far.
I talked to OMC before I glued anything. They told me it will add 7-10 pounds but also depends on design. I made a stack based on a 40# formula ended up with a 60# bow. I narrowed the limbs just a bit and ended up with 55#. Now 55 is on the stiff side of what I like but it doesn't feel like 55. I have checked weight several times and the scale doesn't lie.
For the sake of clarity, when you calculated your stack did you use the stack for the 40# bow and then add the carbon, or did you use the 40# stack with the carbon included in the stack?
I used a 40# limb stack and used the carbon in place of glass. I figured if it added 10# I would end up with a 50# bow.
The layup was. Carbon
Taper
Stable kore.
Veneer
Glass
As for performance it wouldn't shoot my 340 carbons set up for a 58#er. I had to cut an 1" off and lighten up the point. The stability of the limbs are awesome but I haven't chronograph it yet.
