Rosewood 3 piece recurve

[Jegs.mich]

Building bows is addictive. Here is my second attempt. This is my own riser design taking elements from bows other people have built that I appreciate. Riser is 15" long will make a 58" bow. Thanks for looking

Haven't figured out how to keep the pictures in order.

Thanks to Kenny's custom archery for the supplies.

Wedges look good! Just FYI I run mine thru feathered end first, if the sander will do it, the stop on back keeps wedge from sliding.

Kenny, I did the same as you.

Debating wether or not to hide the I beam on the front of the riser. I didn't want to see it on the back and am considering hiding it on the front as well. Using black glass and action boo with rosewood accents similar to my last build. Thinking dark and deadly for this one which will probably be for my oldest son to shoot.

First limb is cooling in the form, second is laid out and inserts are installed.

Limbs are mounted

It looks great.  It emanates speed! 

[Jegs.mich]

Limbs are contoured and everything ground parallel on the drum sander.

Couldn't get pictures working

1/4" tiller right out of the form.

Brace height looks like it will be around 9 which is about right for Binghams limbs.

There were 3 changes for this build. Limb pad angle, bamboo cores instead of maple and the riser is shorter. Using the 40# formula for Binghams 64"x 1.75 limbs rough weight it right at 50#@28". Limbs still need some balancing.
