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

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Very nice bow, more pics would be welcomed. That looks like too nice a bow for just two pics.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

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?
