Very nice curves again.  Looks very similar in design to the yew.  No sinew on this one?  I need to try one of these.

Very nice bow, more pics would be welcomed. That looks like too nice a bow for just two pics.

Thanks for the nice comments,  The only other picture I have of this one is the new owner shooting it.  love how the recurves shoot.  I think those underlays are they key to the curves.




This one has Yew underlays.

Superb craftsmanship on both of your recurve bows. How do you manage to keep curves like that from pulling out during the tillering process?
