Enjoying reading this thread.
Am going for a flat bow type thing... well it looks like a flatbow except the back of the bow is slightly curved with a flat belly and with with recurved tips at the moment. Looks very promising despite the fact that i made a huge cock up meaning its about a quarter of the draw weight it should be, shame because it is an absolutely flawless stave of American hard maple. Lack of draw weight at least means i can take the tips to very small dia. I don't take my bow making very seriously, its like a dark art to me and i will never understand it properly and i kind of like it that way. Still those who really do get it never cease to amaze me.
