Pau ferro recurve. Been working on these 54" lately and I am really liking them. They are smooth and hit hard.

Wow!! Great looking bow!
-
Very nice. Those veneers are great
-
Great looking stick!!!! I like the color of that one!
-
another looker Chris

Wow Chris! Look great. :notworthy:
Your glue lines look perfect on the ramps up your riser. How do you manage that? I have troubles getting mine to fit sometimes.
-
Thanks y'all.
David, I usually use a .001 taper or parallel on the belly and it is usually at least .08 or thinner so it will flex more easily in the tight curve of the belly ramp. I also use packing tape to tape down the whole riser section when I lay it up on the form before I put the air hose on it just to make sure that there aren't any gaps before I air it up and to prevent the riser and limbs from shifting any
-
Nice!!!
-
Nice looking "curve" ....... I like it! :clapper:
-
nice bow chris!!
what taper are you running on the 54
-
Sweet!!
-
Thanks again y'all.
I ran a .003 on this one with a 16" riser and 7" tip wedge. I'm building one now with a 14" riser and .002 taper with nothing in it to see how it's going to act
-
Good looking bow!
-
That's what I'am talking about
-
That is one sweet looking bow there. May I ask where you got the veneers. Sure nice looking, congrats on a job well done. :notworthy:
-
Beautiful!
-
Thanks everyone. Got the veneers from Mike at rosewood
-
Very nice,whats your max draw on that short of bow.

This one has a 7" tip wedge in it. It starts stacking right after 27". Goes from 63@27 to 67@28. I made another one with a 6" tip wedge that didn't start stacking until after 28". It was 57@28 and 61.5@29. I'm still tweaking this design so I think it still has some more potential
-
Nice looking bow!!

Very nice work. I would be proud to spend some time up a tree with that baby!
-
Another pretty curve! :thumbsup:

Thanks y'all. Got this one broke in last weekend and killed a nice boar with it (http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s597/chackworth3/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszbzmap6q.jpeg) (http://s1307.photobucket.com/user/chackworth3/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszbzmap6q.jpeg.html)

Kenny that boar fell in the mud laughing the first time Chris shot at him and missed. Dang boar gave him a do over and it didn't work out for the boar so well that time. :)
