Here's my third takedown recurve. Zebra riser, zebra veneers, walnut wedges. Came in at around 57# @ 28"

Pretty sweet Perry.  Hows it shoot?

[kennym]

Another nice one!!    


Was one of these the one with the cloudy spot?

[Bodork]

WOW! 2 bows in one day! They both look great!

[BCWV]

You're turning out fine looking bows  

[jess stuart]

Nice looking bow Perry.  Do you have a layer of clear glass on the back of the riser?

[perry f.]

Kenny, this is the one with the cloudy spot. I ended up just beveling the limb butt.

Jess, no clear glass on back of riser. Just solid zebra wood. Should I have put clear glass on it? Everything I know about bow building I have learned on here or self taught by reading books, videos, and trial and error. Thanks

[perry f.]

D, haven't shot it yet, just got rest put on it. Hope to shoot some tomorrow. This one is going to my cousin. This is one of the bows I had promised and decided not to do the swap this year. Now if I can finish a couple more and get some taxidermy work caught up I'll be able to breathe.. Too many hobbies. Lol!!!

Another good job! Habit forming isn't it? Tony

[Crooked Stic]

It is a good looking bow.I think what Jess ask about the clear glass is a good question.You may never have a problem with your riser. But with the amount of deflex you have there most of the straight line of your wood grain is interupted and a couple of layers of glass on the front of it would greatly strengthen it in the shelf and grip area.Just take a look at some of the risers of the sponsors here. Those accents are for looks and more so for stength.
