Takedown recurve

[Akula]

I've just about finished my first self bow using ash and started making a form for my first recurve.

I really like the take down recurves some of you have made. I'm not interested in aquiring all the tools needed to laminate fiberglass so I was wondering about the feasability of constructing the limbs without using glass.

If anyone can give me some clues or tips regarding this it would be appreciated.

Apparently a completely stupid or un-answerable. Thanks anyway

I don't think it was a stupid question. My guess is nobody on here is or has made that kind of limb. I haven't heard of anyone making recurve limbs without glass since back in the 1950s.

Good luck if you try it, Dave

was a fellow or two on the 'wall a while back that was building a laminated recurve w/no glass, just lams of 'boo & hickory i think... ps2

Go over to the wall and look for posts by Norseman. He has built several lam bows without glass.
