Pau ferro recurve. Been working on these 54" lately and I am really liking them. They are smooth and hit hard.

Wow!! Great looking bow!
Very nice. Those veneers are great
Great looking stick!!!! I like the color of that one!
another looker Chris
Wow Chris! Look great. :notworthy:
Your glue lines look perfect on the ramps up your riser. How do you manage that? I have troubles getting mine to fit sometimes.
Thanks y'all.
David, I usually use a .001 taper or parallel on the belly and it is usually at least .08 or thinner so it will flex more easily in the tight curve of the belly ramp. I also use packing tape to tape down the whole riser section when I lay it up on the form before I put the air hose on it just to make sure that there aren't any gaps before I air it up and to prevent the riser and limbs from shifting any
Nice!!!
Nice looking "curve" ....... I like it! :clapper:
nice bow chris!!
what taper are you running on the 54
Sweet!!
Thanks again y'all.
I ran a .003 on this one with a 16" riser and 7" tip wedge. I'm building one now with a 14" riser and .002 taper with nothing in it to see how it's going to act
Good looking bow!
That's what I'am talking about
That is one sweet looking bow there. May I ask where you got the veneers. Sure nice looking, congrats on a job well done. :notworthy:
Beautiful!
Thanks everyone. Got the veneers from Mike at rosewood
Very nice,whats your max draw on that short of bow.

This one has a 7" tip wedge in it. It starts stacking right after 27". Goes from 63@27 to 67@28. I made another one with a 6" tip wedge that didn't start stacking until after 28". It was 57@28 and 61.5@29. I'm still tweaking this design so I think it still has some more potential
Nice looking bow!!
Bernie
Very nice work. I would be proud to spend some time up a tree with that baby!
Another pretty curve! :thumbsup:
Thanks y'all. Got this one broke in last weekend and killed a nice boar with it (http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s597/chackworth3/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszbzmap6q.jpeg) (http://s1307.photobucket.com/user/chackworth3/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszbzmap6q.jpeg.html)
Excellent! Build it, use it!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Had to make sure it worked :thumbsup: :D
Looks like it knocked him down in the mud!! :D
Kenny that boar fell in the mud laughing the first time Chris shot at him and missed. Dang boar gave him a do over and it didn't work out for the boar so well that time. :)
:laughing:
