This is a Bingham 60" Recurve
Crazy Cocobolo and Canary Riser
30@28
I have narrowed this design down to 1.4 wide
This Crazy Cocobolo is very light in color





1/2" at  the nocks



Cocobolo and Canary veneers



I reduced the beefyness of the riser all around



The stripes are Hardrock maple and Coco.

But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

Thanks Guy's
I was thinking the coco. would be darker , but it turned out nice.

Beautiful, I love the lines.  Still using .002 taper?

Mad Max

yea
the prints call for 1-3/4 of 2" glass
I went with 1-1/2" glass

That's a fine looking bow.

Bingham's has some sound, time tested designs.

  I'm just a beginner and have built two bows to
date, a one piece and a take down recurve. I'm starting on a new take down recuve and would love to know how to do the footed laminations
on the limbs.Do you have photos that show the
process that you would be willing to share?

Pheonixarcher

Luzern, Troy Breeding (a TG sponsor) sells spliced veneers, and will custom grind your core laminations for a very reasonable price. And his customer service is top notch! There are also other sponsors here that offer some amazing lams from time to time.

Great looking bow Max!
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

I do not have any info. on that.
Like Pheonix. said

You just need some more time to gather info. and it will come.

Good luck, we are all here to help

Read both of these all the way.It's the same process as the veneers.

Love the riser. And the matching limb veneers is a nice touch.
