Rob,
I own 3 widows and your joke made me laugh.
Of course the only woodie recurve I own that doesn't have layers of wood and fiberglass is an all metal riser. If I had a picture of a junk car (before it is recycled) I'd post it.
I don't imagine even the most beautiful of custom bows would look like much if one viewed the pile of raw material that goes into making one?
For our poster friend: I have the PSAIII, PCHX, and PAX. All are 58# and 46-47 draw weight. My favorite of the Widow pile is the graceful PAX.
Of course my bows are cut from the left side of the tree so I get the purtiest grain the tree has to offer.
