Having recently made my first one piece 'curve I got the itch to try the next step in a take down. i have got so much pleasure from these two i doubt I will ever feel quite the same about my beloved longbows again  :bigsmyl:this was my first the one piece
 

Limbs are spliced purple heart/ Zebrano, black glass on back.

Made a small boo boo with the limb pad on one limb reversing the overlay so the mosaic was on wrong end.

Overlay of charcoal actionwood with core tuff glass accents.

riser is split charcoal actionwood/ purple heart and purple heart/ silver ash mosaics.

bow can in at 50# at 28'' and was made from the Jim Thorne designs and plans.

sorry about the scraggly looking 'model'    Action shot.
 

Gorgeous! By the way that wasn't a boo boo, that's how you tell the limbs apart?

Beautiful bows.  Love those curves.  

"By the way that wasn't a boo boo ,that's how you tell the limbs apart?" Ha ha that's what I've been telling people.Brace height was about a 1/2''low too when I took these shots.

Outstanding work Bob, and a nice colour combo. Bue--.  

I like them both, but would love to see pics of the one piece unstrung and drawn.

Great looking bow! Those spliced lams are cool.

Very Cool.  Spliced lams add a nice touch.  Great looking bow

Wow. That is one heck of a first TD!!

Your workmanship is superb.  Nice bows.

And my inferiority complex just keeps on growing...

Some fine bows there Good Sir! Well done.

Those are good looking recurves bigbob!

Thank you so much guys, means a lot coming from one's peers.Going away now for few days to a big comp.

Very nice Bob!  Much better than the one and only takedown recurve I built.  That thing tried my patience getting the limbs aligned and un-twisted.
