Hammertime,
I tried to pm you though I don't know if it went through... I have a bunch of leather (just let me know what type you like for your handles) and a hair-on deer hide (it was tanned with it's winter coat so it's pretty hairy, but I'll definitely go at it with a brush and do what I can to thin it out, if you'd like me to). I'm in for what it takes to get any of the above bows! I'm not pulling enough on the little osage bow I have now and would like to try something new, plus, I love trade.
Also, if you could post a pic of the recurve I'd love to see it.
Let me know if you're interested! Pm will probably be best. Thanks!!!!
