Beautiful bow, great job.

cool stuff, andy! my full respect on that!

greets

looking great! neat idea with the limbs

beautiful bow, you guys did a great job.You couldnt have picked a better color.Love the limbs!

We started apply the finish. Caroline is very happy with the way it turned out. All that is left to do for her is sign the bow and apply  2 more coats of finish and she's ready to go...

Very Nice. Great job

Fantastic!  Thanks for posting.  Congradulations Caroline, very impressive.

Ok, here are the pictures of the finished bow. Caroline is very happy with it, because now she owns a 'real' bow.
Went shooting it the other day and I'm very pleased with it. It shoots almost as fast as the wango tango I did some time ago and it has approx 12lbs less draw weight. So there has been some minor improvement from the first to the second recurve.













We both had a good time during this project and it was a real pleasure to see how much she wanted to do all the work her self. I have already some ideas about a quiver that fits the bow.

How cool, let her know she did a great job with dad.

I like!!  Tell Caroline GREAT JOB!! And you also DAD!!

Wow!  Caroline made an amazing eye-dazzling bow!  I need to show this to my daughter.  Maybe it will inspire her.

Your bow has alot of flare and eye catching wood combinations,it sure is nice to spend time with the kids,they are our future of traditional bow making.Hope we see more of you too.  

Wow. That is just great. I really enjoyed this thread and that you and your daughter were nice enough to document and share it with us.
She has some pretty good form too.
You must be proud.
Take care and have fun shooting.

Epic! What a great read!
Hope she enjoys shooting it  

Really enjoyed your thread!  

Thank you very much to all of you for the kind words. I really enjoyed very much building this bow with my dad. I think he did a rather good job as my assistant. I'm very happy with the way the bow turned out and I like shooting it.

Great job Caroline! Love the contours on the riser. "...he did a rather good job as my assistant."...HAHAHA  Sounds like something my daughters would say about me!  You are lucky to have such a great dad!

Wow! Great job Caroline! And you even let you dad help some - very generous of you. Your form in the shooting picture looks great too. I like the desert camo action wood - looks like it would be a good color for old geezers (like me) too.

Man, you are makin me wanna build a recurve,and that is really hard to do! LOL
