Ahhhhhhhh! I just sent Steve a deposit for a recurve and now it will be even harder to wait. Makes my mind easier though on the thought that I should have waited until later in the year and just bought some ski or snowboard stuff now since I'm in Germany.

I understand! I should have the bow in a matter of days, and I can barely sit still!

Have seen lots of bows in my days but that is about as purty as I have ever seen.Not supposed to lust but just cant help it.

Bjorn · January 13, 2011, 05:18:00 PM

Oh My! That is to die for!!

Congrats! Thats really a very nice bow!
I like the woods and the lines very much.
Have fun with her!

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. This is a very beautiful bow but way too heavy for this old man. The bolts are just painted to match in. Now I guess I should have skinned them lo, but I figured that they would peel off. My wife is making the sock right now. She really makes a nice one for the three pieces with a seperate pocket for each limb and riser and a possibles pocket. I may still get this mailed out by this weekend. Hopefully. Lord willing this bow will be just what Andy was looking for.
Thanks Blake , You are going to get a neat bow Brother. God Bless you all and have a wonderful day, Steve

Andy, you are a lucky dawg!!

Steve, my hat is off!

Hatrick · January 13, 2011, 09:02:00 PM

Extremely clean lines for a TD. The limbs just melt into the riser. Really nice craftsmanship shown there, Sixby.

DannyBows · January 13, 2011, 09:03:00 PM

Andy, I can't imagine why in the world you'd be all excited knowing that bow is soon to be in your hands. Lol! That right there is about as nice a bow as can be made by man. You are one lucky guy. Congrats to you and hats-off to Steve on building such a masterpiece!

That is an amazingly beautiful bow! Close-up pics show great attention to detail.

Sixby, you are a skillful artist!

Andy, let us know how it shoots....

Sixby · January 13, 2011, 09:20:00 PM

Joe asked; how do I conceal the bolts. That is actually complements of Apex Predator. There is a tool that has a nipple on it that is 5/16 that makes a perfect bolt recess. It fits right into the hole and then you cut the hole to the depth of the bolt top and flush it to the limb. Marty was kind enough to share that with me. Kudos to him for that one. What I do is make either two 1/8 in overlays for the top mount limb or one 1/4 overlay for the bottom mount limb out of phenolic. This overlay replaces the washer and is actually stronger . It also spreads the pressure across the entire limb. It presents a very clean limb setup.
Thanks for all the kind comments gentlemen. The glory belongs to Jesus who teaches my hands to war and also build bows. God bless you all, Steve

That is a sharp looking bow.
