Title: Recurve twins !!! Finished
Post by: Dmaxshawn on October 06, 2010, 10:40:00 AM
Heres two 60 inch 3 piecers ones 48 and the others 50 in draw weight.  Both bows are Bocote risers and ERC veneers with red elm cores and wedges.  Overlays are ERC over black phenolic and polished Sheep horn tips.  17 inch riser and a modified Binghams design.  Still trying to figure stacks thicknesses.  Enjoy.

Shawn

I agree with Trux that Bocote is real nice as is the rest of the bow.  Fantastic job.
