T/D Recurve Pics Please!

[Wannabe1]

Ok, I did the search thing but, would like to have a thread for take down recurves. Got a bug in me and might be making the switch from predominately longbows to a t/d recurve and want to see some different styles. Thanks in advance...and NO BASHING ME you longbow guys, I'm sick!!    :D

Walnut and Maple riser, elm limbs.  the older it gets the richer the colors have gotten.  These pictures are from my first year hunting with it, I had my string unwrap before I took the picture, so yes I have fixed the brace height.

OK - I guess I won't bash you.  It's never nice to pick on a sick person.

I'm a longbow guy, but I'll admit, these sure are some pretty bows.

Hey bro... i believe that is what they call "Quilted maple"... and a good looking piece at that.

Kirk, I really like the looks of that bow in the second pic.
