Nice!
So recurves/flipped tip bows shouldn't have a pyramid or eiffel profile?


I'm not quite sure where you got that idea but no the limbs don't HAVE to be a pyramid or eiffel tower profile

Bubby,
Nice looking bow!
I like the tips and the handle, what type of wood for the handle, Mahogany? and also on the back of the bow I see some dark points that appear to come from under the wrap is that a wood inlay ?

Thanks guys i appreciate it, Kevin i was a little scotch on the handle leather so that is just some leather to cover an 1/8" of the cork used to round off the back of the grip it was glued on before i noticed. As far as the handle i don't know what it is as it was already glued on when he brought it, its a pretty color though

Nice bend there Bubby. I'm sure that board is happy to come back to life. Looks like you have it working close to its potential.
