Title: one piece recurve
Post by: jess stuart on December 21, 2013, 03:11:00 PM
Haven't shown to many of my recent builds.  This one is purpleheart, yellowheart, maple accents and white glass. It is for my grand daughter purple and yellow along with pink are two of her favorite colors.

Nice bow. I think the yellowheart will stay yellow.

Nice I like it!
I`m planing a similar combo p-heart and satinwood; cool to see how it may turn out...
Is it only glass limbs?

Thanks guys.  I will try to get a full draw picture up here in a day or two.  Specs, 36" long didn't weight it but probably 8-10# at 16" or so.  I only used one aboo lam in each limb.  Fairly inexpensive to build which is good as you can afford to give more away.  I have probably given a dozen or more away through the years.

The second bow I ever built was one of these for her daddy when he was just about her age.
