Ok, gonna build another. Not doing the buildalong this time but I'll take some pics as it progresses. This will be another new pattern. It's going to be a 58" 55#@29" Takedown recurve. It will have Bocote and Wenge riser and Bocote Limbs.

I'm getting my Lams from KennyM, great guy to deal with and he has some excellent products.

I'll try and get a pic up tonight.

Sounds great, can't wait to see it.

Here is the first pic. I will be stalled here for a while until some parts come in the mail. The wood colors look pretty good.

You have hands of a surgeon,to cut free hand, and shape the risers the way you do.:thumb up:

Sorry, didnt do the build along on this one, I'm just posting some random pics. I'll do the whole thing on the next one.

I was gone all weekend, but I'll get a new pic up tonight.

Here is a pic after the glue up

This one is after cutting the basic shape on the bandsaw

And one after a couple hours of hand filing

That's all for now.

Very sharp riser Dude.

Savage · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2011, 06:51:00 AM »

Thanks.

Hermann, nope not Binghams design. I designed the shape of the riser and the pattern of the laminated pieces myself.

I love working with the Bocote, its very forgiving. The Wenge is a different story. It seems very hard, difficult to sand and flakes or chips easy. That's just my observation.

I'll try finish up the shaping tonight and get a rough sanding done on it.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing with us. I noticed you changed your status on Afghanastan (sp?). Are you staying close to home now? Thanks for your service.

Well rumor had it we were going at the end of this year and for the last two deployments the rumors have always been true. After all the meetings I attended this weekend, it looks like it may be 2013. That really made my day. I'm sure the kids will be happy. Although the wife is probably ready for me to leave again. At least I'll have some time to build more bows! hahaha

Limb laminations came in today. These are going to look great!

A special thanks to KennyM for some beautiful lams!!!
