I've done a few of these now, "traditionalizing" ILF metal riser recurves, with custom camo paint jobs and skins, horn, antler, etc.
This one is for a guy who is the best shot I've ever seen in my lifetime, and the only guy I've seen draw a 120# longbow to anchor. He just broke the world record for 55 and over powerlifting championships.  Going bear/moose hunting with him in Kake Alaska in September. You can bet I'll walk in BEHIND him!


 

       

Very nice sir!  Sounds like a warrior!

Nice touch.  

WOW...FINALLY, a metal riser recurve that I like!

That is really neat,and I hate metal risers. I like how they perform ,just not how they feel!Nice job!

I love to shoot them myself, but I just cant warm up to them. Nothing like a chunk of highly grained sculpted wood in hand when in the timber.
Ever had a metal bow in hand when its 15 degrees out??  YIKES!!! The cold from that riser goes right through a chopper's mitt!  Can't beat the accuracy though.

You sir are an artist.

I like you and all, but I'm thinking a ghillie bow sock.

 

Nice job. Wish I had that kind of talent.

Now, that is cool....

You truly are talented Dave. Looks great!

That looks nice!

Beautiful bow,love that riser. I like metal risers, my main go to bow is a 1970's Astro II.

Is that a Spig 650?

it is.

That is nice! What kind of snake skin is that?

Real nice.

Dave: I love your work. Where can I find a couple of young Mooses, like your friend. Want too hunt Alaska, with my Old Best friend. He turns 70 this year, been hunting together for 42 years this year. He seems to be slowing down a little. Great Pics.

Thanks Don

That has to be the most pimped up spig 650 I have ever seen!   :eek:

 

do you use a template for the tracks ? if so how did you make one ?
