I am currently building two takedown recurves with students in my shop class. We have done this a couple of times before and many students really seem to enjoy the process. I am going to post a few pics and will continue to update until we are finished.

My student placing the limb in our heat box and leaving it for the afternoon. The other limb will go in tomorrow.
I'll keep this updated everyday. This is such a great project for my students. We live in a very whitetail rich area of Illinois and everyone of my kids bowhunts. Hopefully, many will be using traditional equipment next season.
