Here is my new 52" recurve it is a 47#@28 stripped ebony riser back glass limbs bamboo core. The bow is super smooth and fast.
The quality of the finish is 9/10 some minor paint drop on the hand section (can I sand them away or whould that tear up the finish?)
but I am in love .... (http://www.mmcc.dk/013.jpg)

Gorgeous...I love the dark woods in that riser. Just recently got a Toelke Whip and all I can say is it's the finest longbow I've owned. I've shot a friends recurve and you're going to really enjoy this bow. Have fun!
-
Very nice lines in that bow Jacob! I have a Whip coming next week. Really looking forward to getting acquainted with it. I love the flat spot on the grip where the meaty part of the lower thumb comes in contact with the riser.
-
I like it,great choice in woods.
-
You could call Dan and ask him about the drops. Might be epoxy over spray that you could sand off and rub out to match surrounding finish.
-
Sweet recurve right there! Congrats!
-
Very nice looking bow. I would leave the "drips". If you shoot it enough, it will wear off, if not it will give you a reference point to know you are holding the bow correct.
-
Very nice wood choices, congrats on the new bow.
-
I am sure you paid a good price for that bow. I am sure Dan will fix the finish if you ask. I have seen some of his bows they are really nice.
-
Very pretty recurve...I like the dark woods on bows...
-
Beautiful Bow!
Dan and Jared are perfectionists. I am quite shocked that got to you like that. Crooked Stic is right Dan will fix it for you.
BTW I have 52" 2pc RC of his 47# @ 29" I call it my pocket bow. Her real name is Sally.

Jacob, I don't see what you are referring to in your photos but I do know that if you contact Dan he will either have you send the bow to him or give you the option of a VERY easy fix that you can do yourself. That is some beautiful Macassar and about these little recurves all I can say after having shot a couple of them at Dan's one day for about an hour is WOW! The "long bow for a smooth draw" guys would just be amazed and I have had a hard time winning the arguement with myself that I just don't need one.
-
That's a looker for sure. Every time I shoot my Chinook recurve I'm amazed at how quiet it is. Enjoy your new one.
-
I like that one.... Sweeeet lookin shooter :)
52"s talk about handy!! Congrats
-
Take some 0000 steel wool and they will rub right off. Dan puts 8-10 coats of finish on so i don't think you would hurt it. Just rub lightly.
-
Nice looking! I'm sure he'll fix it if you want.
