He's right, either a 59'r or a John style recurve like Brians. I'm having trouble finding the Macassar ebony for a riser, any ideas?

Joe, I was originally looking for Macassar too, but didn't come up with any. I bought my piece of ziricote from Kettle Morraine Hardwoods. They had some Gabboon ebony, but no Macassar.

Just sent my deposit for one of John's 21st clones. I asked for 65#@27 and 62". Gave him pretty free reign to make me a hunting tool, asked that he use what from his experience has performed best. I did suggest to him that I liked the Zircote that is in the riser of my recurve circa 1998. Bamboo cores and possibly curly maple laminations. I'll have to talk with him about horn tips as well.
Just One More.

John called and we talked about my bow, I had sent a outline of my hand to help with getting the grip size closer. We talked about horn tips, a leather grip and putting a heavy wood (Zircote) in the riser. He said it might take awhile, but I'll be ready. More time to scrape acorns together.
