I just finished this ash recurve. It it 62" 50@27 2" fades to 7" then tapering to 1/2 pin nocks. I don't know if I like the pin nocks or not. Any way here is some pics.

Frank, I don't know about Cloverdale yet. I did some heat to straighten it up and to recurve the tips. I have started a 68" long for a friend to be a surprise
