BTW, I had a recurve years ago that the limb broke on me and it looked like aluminum when you looked at the grain. I was pretty sure that they were made out of that until now. Perhaps recurve limbs were??
I have recurves made from 40's to present, and all are wood core, wood backed, fiberglass backed, carbon backed, fiberglass total, but none are metal.
I am building a medieval crossbow with the prod made from high temper steel. As they did use this material at the end of 16 century.
