I finished this one a while ago, but never got around to posting any pics. Figured I would post some now while I got the chance. It came in at 60#@ 26", and holds 1" of reflex.

That is a beauty toomany! Your unorthodox style of shooting always throws me off for a second or two. :)

Well played, Knothead!  You are always more than a little meticulous at your finish and tillering.  I'm get a little thrilled when you post a bow, I like your workmanship, always have.

Druid, thank you!. The recurves start out at 1 1/4" wide tapering to 11/16" wide at the nock. Thickness wise, they start out about 5/16" thick or so, tapering to 1/4" or a little less at the nock.

Coaster, Pappy, Keenan, Parnell, George, Lostarrow, autologus, okie64, JW, thank you all! Means a lot coming from yall.
