I had a request for a plywood Recurve Hunter so I made one for myself to see if how it would turn out. This one is made from 3/4 birch. I had to glue three layers together to get the size I needed. I think it will be allright I am going to make one out of oak ply and see what that looks like. This one has one coat of linseed oil the wood seemed very dry. I have been shooting it this afternoon and it shoots fine.

With all the shaping inherent to your designs, use of plywood resulted in VERY unique look.

The use of plywood offers you some unique design effects...Multiple laminations of thin (1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 inch) hardwoods might offer some unique design patterns...Similar to your original bent wood laminations...Using a variety of sizes in one board lamination should yield some interesting effects...Good work...
