Excellent! That's the tiller shape I like to see on recurves. That feather backing is sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Pearly if I may call you that...............I'm glad you asked, I looked back at the pics I took and didn't have one.  So I got may wife to help again.  I've only got about 150 shots thru her at this point.  It's tillered to 28" , and the bows going to a guy with only a 27" draw. So, I hope it holds where she's at.

I noticed I hadn't posted the spec's..........53# @ 28"  68" ntn,  it's a little long, but when I started I wasn't sure how I would handle the knot.  It sure draws easy. Maybe thats why it doesn't have much string follow.

Thanks

Bow looks good. The feathers really make a nice looking back.

That's got to be my favorite backing i will have to try that please post again if you find any durability issues or if you think of anything else that would be useful to know for someone trying to replicate that style of backing

Thanks again everyone for your comments...

Darwin,
I sure will post any good or bad issues with the backing in the future.  I'm giving this one away to a good friend. Don't know how many times he will have it out shooting but I'm making another one as soon as I get some more turkey feathers.

I've had flex coat on fishing rods for years in the sun and weather and they seemed to do fine.  But time will tell.
Thanks
