My first Custom Recurve!
« on: December 31, 2008, 08:33:00 PM »
I am very excited to have my first custom TD Recurve. It is a 64", 54# at 32.5"draw Recurve Billet that Dan Toelke made me that I finished. Riser is Bubinga and the limbs have Bamboo Cores with Juniper Veneers finished with Tbird Satin. Dan Toelke is an awesome guy that helped me alot and would always take my call. I hope the pictures turn out, she shoots very well.

Pretty combination. The finish looks super smooth!

Bill,
Yeah Im 6'6" and shoot a 34" bop aluminum shaft, first bow that didnt slap the crap out of my bow arm, good thing I went with a 64".

Crandog: Dan toelke's son Jared made the string that came with the bow, I notice if you look close he tied serving string on both sides of the catwhiskers on the string to prevent slippage. He makes a nice endless loop, I ordered 2 more from him with colors customized to match the bow colors.
