Awesome! I love koa. I had a recurve made with koa cut offs I brought back from Kaual. With phenolic in the riser for strength, it is a looker as well. Good job!

Earlier in the thread I had made a mistake about the finish. That is the finish that Big jim sells its the buffalo hide finish.

Thanks guys

Very nice Shawn....what was the application of that finish...did you spray, wet sand and then buff?

Fantastic job!

Brad I sent that to jim he did it for me. close to 20 coats. yes he wet sanded between and eventually down 2000 grit, then buffed.
