Today we had a bunch of bow head out to waiting parents.
First I'd like to say I'm sorry to the one that didn't get out. I screw'd the pooch big time and built a bow right handed for a left handed customer. It's a dandy and we are working OT to get him his bow. Here's the one we will be taking to Compton.
Rosewood and bamboo, 60" 46 @ 28

Next we have Rusty's order. He wanted the 17" riser and a heavy physical weight but only 36 @ 28 . We built this figured Bubinga riser and bamboo limbs. The bow is 64 ntn and hit the 36 on the money.

Nice looking Bows Mike.
Great looking bows. That #2 coco and bocote recurve is calling my name.
T.J.
Thanks for the kind words.
TJ that coco and bocote is on it's way to Spain. It would be a lot cheaper to just call us and order one. LOL
We worked late last night and got the material made for the limbs and one glued for the Left bow mess up. The riser is in the oven and will get the rest of the glue up today. Will work through the weekend and have it ready to ship on Monday.
Mike

Mike and Jason, top notch work! Love the longbow / recurve combination bows headed for Spain.
About that mistake on L/R riser... as construction buddy of mine used to say, "They crucified the last perfect carpenter."
