Title: New long draw recurve
Post by: Al Dean on July 25, 2014, 06:28:00 PM
Put together a little different design.  Bow is 66" with 19" riser, 1 3/4" limbs or 1 5/8" after finish.  Came out 45# @ 30".  Perfect for my 30" draw.  Jatoba with a little bubinga accent.  The jatoba is much prettier than the photo shows.  Smooth as butter and extremely quiet.

A nice piece of Jatoba can really be some of the most beautiful wood ... it's ceratinly got a color and look like nothing else.

Great work.
