Really impressive! Quite an accomplishment just getting the limbs to line up so well with this style of bow.  ;)

62".   I like your bow.   I am making a bow with an inset handle that is also 62" (158cm).  How long did you steam the ends for those recurves?  I keep getting splinters raised.  Where are you from?  Prost.

I steam each reflex 3-4 times 10 - 15 minutes. I comes from Poland. In my country bow making is not very popular. We have only 2 "profesional" bow makers in Poland.  I make bows about 2 years.

very nice looking bow you built there.

i really like the recurved tips and the handle area.

looks like another reason to vote this month.

What is the draw length in your full draw picture. Does it crank back further? Beautiful bow and bookmarked for June Self Bow of the Month.
