Thanks! They came out of a really nice board. I've used it before and this is the tail end of it so I hope ####### likes them. I've been saving it for a "special occasion".

Riser block glued up and one takedown recurve limb in the oven. Let's hope I'm not biting of more than I can chew. Sure think *#%€* is going to like it!

I finally made time to work on a (possible) trade bow. I'm working on more than one just in case. I cut the riser out of a nice piece of walnut and the grain looked best with a straight limb design. I tapered a walnut core from 3/8" to 1/16" at the tips and I tapered and planed a piece of bamboo down to 1/8" for the back. I'm using 1/8" bamboo for the belly as well. I'm wondering if I should use a power lam above the riser. Any opinions on this would be appreciated.

One cool thing - I tempered the bamboo back and the propeller twist it had is all but gone. I was worried that it might twist the bow.
