« on: October 30, 2008, 04:55:49 pm »
this is the brother of the recurve i just posted. has really nice r\d shape unstrung and shoots really great. its 62"   and 70# at 26"    very comfortable in the hand and hits where you point it.  the tips are IPE overlays and the grip is deer hide dyed in walnut stain. im very happy with this one and i am currently using it as my go to hunting bow.   thanks for looking- Ryan

the pictures have been saved to a folder named twistedlimbs!

you really have a style of your own: your bows have no fancy but look FANTASTIC any way; with that 'certain something' i would say.

that is a fantasic looking tiller most of all!!!

like it very much!

Looks great! At 70#, I bet it really spits an arrow out right now. Really like the "natural" look, I'm a fan of simple and effective.

Another great looking bow. Your tiller looks spot on.
How long has the back been finished on that one? Looks like it has already started turning darker.

thanks a lot for the kind words guys.

OKIE- the back already has the darker wood color b\c its over a year old stave and the sapwppd was taken off and finished well before curing began so i prefer to leave it dark if possible and this one was a good candidate for it.-

Twisted, I've got one just like it that was in my attic for 10 years before I finally decided to finish the tillering. I think they look great like that.
