One for me-Static Recurve (Updated)
« on: October 16, 2014, 02:38:00 PM »
64" Static recurve T/D 25#@28"
157 feet per second with a 313 grain arrow
Wenge Riser, Spalted maple cores.wenge and maple stripes

Thanks to everybody
Mike at rosewood (wenge and phenolic)
Troy Breeding (spalted maple lams)
Bowman (Thunderbird grain filler)
Bigjim (Buffalo hide)
Brushwolf for the post on the stripe in the riser


I took 9 degrees less hook off the tips for better string angle at mid draw
     
5 layers of sitka Spruce with wenge over & underlays and the same stripe in the riser at the nock

     

Wenge and hard maple stripe .050 thick
and white phenolic stripe .037
with white and black accents

     

Back of the riser
     

Grip side

That turned out really nice! Great wood choices, great curves. Well done.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

I did not think the spalted maple looked as good as it did before glueup
It got darker

Wow, that's nice!  Great wood choices.  How does it shoot with those thin static tips?

157 fps with 313 grain arrow seems real smooth without string silencer

Awesome!  Super cool stuff, that riser is beautiful.  Any chance for a shot at draw?  Those tips came out great, very unique bow, and a solid performer I'd imagine!
