I couldn't decide if I wanted to build a TD recurve or a longbow so I was seeking some I guess approval from you to see if it would be worthy enough to send out. I have seen the masters on here Like Mr Kenny who went through the roof this year on his bow. I am pleased with all of the responses so I am sure my recipient will feel the same.

Thanks Kelly it is tough to try and build a bow to the standards that are being set by all you great Bowyers this year

Here's where mine is at so far. HHB 65 NTN, 1-3/4" wide to mid limb then tapers to 1/2" tips.
It looks to me that the right (bottom) limb is a little stiff yet in the mid section, any suggestions would be helpful.

braced to 5"

Drawn to 26"

Looking great everyone!Man the bar was raised high this year.

Dan, i would get that right limb bending more mid limb before you bend it anymore. looks like a nasty hinge developing right off the fade.

Great looking bows everyone, I worry that the newbie, me included, bowyers will be scared off by the amazing work that has appeared so far.

Checked the bow out in the hot box little bit ago, looks sweet. Only cooken it at 90 degrees.

Dan, you have a tillering gizmo? If not, make one and use it. They work wonders.
