That is a killer bow Simon, very nice all around. Wish I could get over to Germany to apprentice under you in the bow shop for a time. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

All: Thank you guys for the nice compliments

Very nice bow, Simon. I love the irregularity of the antler tip overlays. Cool!   8)

Yeah, Pat. I found two pieces matching - the other is just opposing.
Very nice indeed.  I've only made 1 working recurve and they started to pull out after awhile.  I hope yours fares better

Have shot now about 300 arrows, till now no let off. Hope it will stay with that reflex.

Nice as usual!  I really like that style of hanle grip did you glue twine wraps to make that ribbed look?

That is a very simple thing. Just underlay some pieces of leather laces or some cord

.... You must also spend more time than many on your finish as it looks great.

That is really no great affair. I apply usually about eight coats of a homemade mixture of hardening oil. Every coat is done within 5 min.

That is a killer bow Simon, very nice all around. Wish I could get over to Germany to apprentice under you in the bow shop for a time. :)

Oh no Greg! You are the master! I know that for shure.
But if you ever come to Germany  you must visit me. It would be great building  and shooting bows together. I'm waiting for you.

Another great looking bow man!  You Germans don't mess around do you? ;)
