Ken, they look great. How does walnut compare to the Hickory that you've been using in terms of performance?

Good job. Did you use dry or wet heat? How well did it take it or did it take a couple of sessions?

I'd say your pretty darn good there Ken. I like those recurves you've been turning out. 37 bows!!! Holy crap. I thought I had built a lot at 18 in a year, not counting those that broke. Keep em coming Ken.
