I like it!   Did you cut the stave yourself, Dwardo?

Nice bow,and really clean "leatherwork" too. Looks good!

Thanks dbb, leather was from an old saddle that was about to be thrown out at a local tack shop. Good stuff once its re-hydrated.

Looking good. Anyone would be proud to own that.

Thanks slackbunny

Very nice!

Thanks boss.


Nice bend on that one. Glad you saved it!! ;)

Thanks lesken2011

Great tiller and handle. Glad you stuck with it.

Handle is the first narrow and deep one i have made in a long while. Still not sure if I prefer it or not. Weekend in the woods and a load arrows will tell.

Beautiful bend in that sweet looking static recurve. Nice woprk, Dwardo.  8)

Thanks Pat ;)


Nice work!

Cheers slimbob

BEAUIFUL! simplicity at its best.

Very kind thanks.

That's a beauty. I would think with a chrysal would come a boat load of string follow but yours looks like it took zero

Strangest thing is the bottom limb took the only little follow the bow has. Who knows, it is wood after all and not glass :)

Excellent tiller and beautiful workmanship.

Thanks hrhodes

Love it,very nice job. :)

Thanks pappy :)

Learn so much more when they give you trouble like this rather than just falling into line.

I did mate. Cut all my wood myself, not really a preference more a necessity.

Thanks for all the kind words all. All of your opinions and advice are worth their weight in gold.

There is something about a selfwood static.
And most importantly how does it shoot!?

Shoots very nice mate. Those recurves make the draw so smooth and easy.
If I end up keeping this one which rarely happens I may take it down a couple of lbs but thats it.
