[elmoforu0]

where did you learn!?

[MrAnonymus23]

could you tell me,at what point (height,1 foot,2 feet,ect),do I make the grip?

[NakedSamurai5000]

Aside from being short once you wrapped what I assume is green bamboo on the outer edge your using the wedges to sandwich the pieces together did you use a glue to weld them together? before tying?

[minxel16]

@NakedSamurai5000 without the glue-the recurve wouldn't set in shape

[NakedSamurai5000]

@minxel16 I knew they were glued is there a specific glue used?

[minxel16]

@NakedSamurai5000 usually just titebond or any other pva thats waterproof
