Mate! Wicked recurves, Boof!
How did you find shaping the pistol grip handle? Bit of a steep learning curve? Good luck during the week, gotta see some pics of ya bloodin' the 62"er.

Outstanding work mate very classic old school lines and love a bowmaker that keeps evolving in his bow designs. Far to many that get a design and never change anything after that.
Well done mate..
Cheers KIM

Excellent work Rod, I knew you would come around to the curves in the end. A little more challenging, but what a great result.
How do they shoot?
Did you make two separate forms or just leave the limbs longer to get the different length bows?
Don't usually use imported timbers but I bought my self a piece of Bubinga recently from the mill I get most of the timber that I can't gather myself cause they are closing down in a couple of months (Bummer) and I couldn't resist. glad to see it's so attractive.
Cheers, Rob.
