Title: Double Trouble
Post by: Mad Max on October 31, 2016, 08:39:00 PM
62" recurve
Top one is Canary wood and African Black wood Riser with Myrtle burl and African Black wood veneers
Bottom one is African Black wood and Myrtle Riser with Figured Myrtle veneers.

I really like the black wood and the canary wood is awesome.

Trux
both are 62" one is 50# and one is 55#
I went with less stack taper and made the limb width taper, it was a bit of a guessing game.

The canary bow snuck up on me, being so purrrrdddy.

Thanks guy's they were alot of work, 2 at a time

up close the streaks on the canary and the grain on the black wood are very nice. I will be useing them again.

Some really nice work, Mark. Great looking wood combinations. I have some canary wood in one of my bows. You don't see it used much but it really goes nice with a lot of other woods. What finish material did you use?
