My first try for a TD Recurve. Folding hands... This is a present for Bendik, my 12 years old son.
Riser from walnut, with birch stripes.  
   
   
   

1mm glass, walnut belly, actionboo centercore and back.
   
   
   

The beauty of those two woods, and it's simplicity, create an elegant appearance to that riser.  Your son should cherish that gift.

1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches

Just in case anyone on this side of the pond had that question.

good looking Bow, what weight will you be making the limbs ??

Mike

That's a nice lookin' riser you got there Moen. Isn't it great when you have something you can share with your kids ?

Looks nice. I am starting my first takedown longbow tonight.

Thank you folks.

Andy. Yes, your right. Its good to see my kids having fun with a bow and arrow.

Ok. Lams out from oven, clean them up, and...no bubbles. Tryed them on..

He's going to be a lucky boy!

Progress..
Today I drilled holes for the insert(nut), threaded and installed them. BTW: What kind of glue do you guys use for the inserts?

   
 
 
 

Try it on..
 
   
   
Now i`m waiting for good (dry) weather, so I can shape the limbs out in the backyard. It's snowing here today and i HATE snow and dust from fiberglass   :mad:

Last time I made one with inserts, I used Devcon 2 ton epoxy which was available at the local discount store, (W___mart). I still had to be careful not to fill up the bottom of the hole with excess.

Guys here recommended it.

Good Luck Mike

That looks fast!

Nice job,bet he will love it!

more pics! more pics! more pics!

c'mon guys! more pics! more pics!

Just kidding. That looks like a bow that's after my own heart.

Hi, its me, slowmo:) I missed my target BIG TIME, and the bow weight in on 79# I will try sand it down (sides) to 65#, but I'm not sure if it works well, but I'll give it a try. More pics tomorrow. I have a real job too..
