He mentioned how you couldn't make up your mind.

He's right, either a 59'r or a John style recurve like Brians. I'm having trouble finding the Macassar ebony for a riser, any ideas?

Joe,  dont inspire me to get another bow please. if you ever make up your mind, do not post pictures.      

No worries Charlie, I'll be sure to post up pics! :tu:

Joe, I was originally looking for Macassar too, but didn't come up with any.  I bought my piece of ziricote from Kettle Morraine Hardwoods.  They had some Gabboon ebony, but no Macassar.

Question?? On the Kodiak copy is the bottom limb supposed to have a lot more positive tiller I mean mine is about 3/4" or a tad more than upper limb. Thanks guys! Shawn

Question?  How does it shoot?  no two bows are tillered the same, I personally dont worry about tiller get the brace set nock set,done

You're right.  That is one of the prettiest bows I have seen.

Just sent my deposit for one of John's 21st clones.  I asked for 65#@27 and 62".  Gave him pretty free reign to make me a hunting tool, asked that he use what from his experience has performed best.  I did suggest to him that I liked the Zircote that is in the riser of my recurve circa 1998.  Bamboo cores and possibly curly maple laminations.  I'll have to talk with him about horn tips as well.
Just One More.

That is SEXY!

Wudstix, you made a good choice, that will be a beauty.

Brian; PM sent.

Wow, what an outstanding bow!  John's work is outstanding.

John called and we talked about my bow, I had sent a outline of my hand to help with getting the grip size closer. We talked about horn tips, a leather grip and putting a heavy wood (Zircote) in the riser. He said it might take awhile, but I'll be ready. More time to scrape acorns together.
