Here are the bows that Mike made for my family.
First up is my wife's mid-sized recurve. It is 27# at 26". Purpleheart limbs and riser w/ dyed purple tiger maple. I skinned the bow w/ prairie rattler that I colored purple.

Mike is making 3 bows for my grandkids from some Koa wood that I made a coffee table from when i was in 6th grade and living in Hawaii. Excited and Mike is a real nice guy. BW made me a PCH recurve from this KOA so the wood has a neat history.
