Excellent Job Trux!!
I have a special place in my heart for short little recurves and that one is a beauty!

Trux Turning · February 03, 2011, 11:21:00 AM

Thanks guys-Once I get all the sanding done the tiger wood riser will really pop with the finish one it- that is always one of the funnest times in the build process-seeing the ugly duckling come to life.

Great looking recurve !!! Could you tell me the lam stack that you used for 45lbs. I've been itching to try a short bow for stand hunting.

Thanks.

Can't wait to see the finish on her.

That is a sweet bow..thanks for the build along.

Turned out really nice. Can't wait to see it with a finish on it.

Dave, If possible I like this one better even than the last one. You have better string angle . did you add a tip wedge? That thing has even more draw in it.

FYI this bow is 6 full inches shorter than a Kodiak Mag. They are 51 . They did make a few Kodiak Mags in a 48 in called a Super Mag.

Great bow and great job. God Bless yuu, Steve

Trux Turning · February 05, 2011, 05:45:00 PM

Steve-no tip wedge unless you count the overlay on the belly as one. The only thing I can contribute to the string angle difference are the overlays I used-this one they are a little thicker than on the first.

That is one cool bow!!

Trux Turning · February 06, 2011, 04:25:00 PM

I'm trying a different finish on this one. A massey finish followed by tru-oil. Here is a picture with the first coat of epoxy drying on the riser. I'm not quite sure how long to let it cure between sanding??? It looks like it will do a pretty good job sealing the grain- this tigerwood is really starting to come to life now.

Sixby · February 06, 2011, 08:30:00 PM

I usually let the epoxy set overnight. you can check it until it doesn't feel sticky. I usually coat several times but you can oil after the first coat. the pores will be sealed with tiger.Thats sure pretty. One of my favorite woods.
God Bless you, Steve

I don't know if you ever said or not Trux, but are you building this for yourself? Or is it for the bow swap?

Cuz if it's for the bow swap......I'm hopin you got my name.

That's exactly what I had in mind for it, looks like an awesome blind bow!
Of course, I wouldn't have a problem flinging an arrow at a deer with it either.
