Hi everybody, long long time no see.It's been 7 years no building. This is my short recurve build along.

This is my first time use band saw to build bow, it is very easy to use and help a lot. I alway use pull saw before. it is not difficult to use a pull saw cut a straight line. But band saw can save material.

Yes, not just one bow.

Purple heart riser block from Bingham projects.

Yes good to see you back. I know that bandsaw will save wood but I did admire your handsaw skills. I will be watching.

Thank you and hello Iktomi.

actually, I decide to use this riser block to build 3 recurve bows, I don't think Bingham will happy with this , LOL...

Material from Bingham.

So far, I'm interested. Jeff F

Whats this? Hera with power tools! Missed your great builds, welcome back. Carl

hahaha....yes, power tools. Hello Woodinhand, I remember your ID here.

Awesome to see you back sir! You are a fine craftsman

Hmmm... First time seen riser handle added after gluing and cooking limbs... Is cooking twice a good idea?

Hera nice to see you back as always looking good old friend.

Very cool Hera!

Hi Zbone, cook twice is OK as long as not too high temperature.

Good to see you building- how much weight did you gain adding the additional glass?

Hi Trux Turning. I think it depend on how long and how thick the additional glass was.I add 0.060 glass,add more then 15 lbs.

I didn't use tillering block this time. I used to use a homemade washer tillering block, but this time I didn't. Because there no limb twist , using a tillering block to find the limb tip center point is not necessary .Just eyeball check and sanding it.

nice-how did you get such a nice 90degree angle on the shelf? Does your bandsaw allow it or did you cut the shelf with something else?

Great build-a-long. John

Awesome. Your brother must have big hands! God Bless

Hi 4nolz@work, it is not 90 degree,it's about 3~5 degree deviation.

Welcome back HERA!!..been way too long. Do you still shoot that magnificent recurve you built in your last build along?

great thread! Thanks for posting it

How did the bow come out??

hera- thanks for the build along. Interesting to see your process. I too would like to hear about how your bow turned out ... maybe some photos too if possible.

Thanks for posting, I have made 7 wood bows and I have been wanting to get a Bingham kit for my first lam bow, all the build along's sure help.

Hera love your posts and talent,great to see you back and building again,keep makin and postin.

Great build a long. Nice choice of woods. Can't wait to see the finished bow, thanks.

Looks as if Hera has gone AWOL!
