I know i've mentioned this before but i've finally gotten the TD recurve I started in march done in July, but haven't gotten around to taking pictures. I messed up and had to find something to fill four different bores that shouldn't have been in the limbs, so I used 9mm and .22 brass to fill them. I used the bingham's kit to do this, the process was pretty smooth.

pulls around 50 lb at 28 inches, I don't have a good scale to measure it with. This is the bow I'm going to use for hunting this fall and for the foreseeable years.
Is that a dymond wood? it looks good. Binghams makes a really good kit to get started with.
Great job!
looks good. when you say you had to fill the bor , you mean where the screw holds the limb on?

Looks good.

Good lookin bow John
Great work!
yeah hov, I accidentally drilled the wrong size hole in the wrong size place (riser as opposed to limb hole) and had to fill it with the 9mm, and the other one was only supposed to be .25 inch deep but drilled all the way through, so I used .22 brass to cap the extraneous holes. The riser I think is actionwood, it doesn't explicitly say actionwood or dymondwood. I know it's laminated maple, that's all it says.
