TD Recurve for my son

[Moen]

My first try for a TD Recurve. Folding hands... This is a present for Bendik, my 12 years old son.
Riser from walnut, with birch stripes.  
   
   
   

1mm glass, walnut belly, actionboo centercore and back.

The beauty of those two woods, and it's simplicity, create an elegant appearance to that riser.  Your son should cherish that gift.

1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches

Just in case anyone on this side of the pond had that question.

Progress..
Today I drilled holes for the insert(nut), threaded and installed them. BTW: What kind of glue do you guys use for the inserts?

     
   
   
   

Try it on..
   
     
     
Now i`m waiting for good (dry) weather, so I can shape the limbs out in the backyard. It's snowing here today and i HATE snow and dust from fiberglass   :mad:

[Mike Most]

Last time I made one with inserts, I used Devcon 2 ton epoxy which was available at the local discount store, (W___mart). I still had to be careful not to fill up the bottom of the hole with excess.

Guys here recommended it.

Good Luck Mike
