Hi ice,just a thought here,but maybe post your request in the trade section on the topic board,You may get one of the finest bows you can acquire!! An archery store may carry hand made recurves(and I'm talking wood here) but are they"hand made" or a belt sanded-jig form wanna be?(no offense meant 15d,we're all just trying to help). There are members of this forum that are the leading authorities of bow making(a little time spent here and who they are will become obvious)!! If you want just post the topic or...kick the tires awhile and maybe get a world class bow either way,just sayn',Ron
