Many layers of Bocote and Osage and a funky shape to show it off.

Zebra wood and padauk with a yew core, wenge and maple accents. Bamboo back and belly. It came out a bit heavy and took some set, but I like it. 😁

This one was a lot more intense to build than a guy would think. Brandon Stahl from Rose Oak Archery sent me a set of cutters and told me to give the pierce point riser a try. (He was a great guy) The mill work was pretty intense just putting the riser together, and shaping the riser just right gives the pattern in the strike plate….seriously intense work by hand….
So I’d have to post this one first.

That's stunning, amazing work. One question I do not understand I guess. Why the blind limb mounts instead of a one piece? I don't see the reason.
They go in a suit case while traveling….but look like a one piece when assembled.

I have done a lot of those over the years, and it’s real challenging to grain match all the limb butts to the center overlay and get all the wedges and lams lining up at the connection. But…. That’s what makes it look like a one piece bow.
I charge an extra $150 for the full overlay flush limb pocket option on my bows. Then I charge another $100 for the blind limb mounts running the limb bolts internally. That helps cover the extra time invested.
Don’t see too many guys doing it out there either…. Carry on bro… ya do nice work. Kirk

Looks like somebody misplaced their putter and put a bow up instead

This is one of my favorite builds. It's osage from Osage Outlaw, 60" t/t, with cow sinew and water snake backing pulls about 56#@26".
Very nice, Pat. How wide are the limbs on that bad boy?

Love the looks of this bow! Curious about your draw length and whether there’s a cut in shelf?
Outstanding!
Honest Jon
Jon,
The bow measures 54@26", but it will draw to 27", which is my normal draw length. The tips to not ahve standard string grooves because it was so short. I used pin-shape tips to hold the string like a west-coast style native bow. There are little cocobolo hooks on the pins to prevent the string form slipping off if someone drew it past 27", which is where the angle of the string and the tip is 90 degrees.
There is no cut-in shelf. The grip is fairly narrow and I made a small shelf about half an arrow diameter from built up leather under the grip.

Thats a great looking little bow Matt :thumbsup: The tip design sounds interesting, you have a close up pic by chance?
This is the only one I had on my phone that shows the tip. I really like the pin nocks and I am surprised we don't see more of them. I have used them on selfbow recurves too. Very easy to make and very easy to string and unstring.

Favorite build to date was a 60" recurve inspired by the earlier Black Widows.
Came in at 40# at 29", 0.245" total stack with 40thou brown glass. Shoots better than I can!
