Awesome combination of woods.  That looks like one of those bows that are so much fun to build, you almost hate to have it finished!  Beautiful bow.

That is a beauty!  Love the looks of cedar.

[Marc St Louis]

Thank you guys.  Shooting left hand is not something I do often but it certainly is interesting when I do.  My first shot with it was practically dead center of the gold

Riser, handle, I prefer handle.  Riser to me suggests a glass bow, yuck

[IdahoMatt]

Wow mark.  That is some serious quality to aspire to,  all around.  The tiller the finish work everything.  Spot on.  Thanks for posting

That is a beautiful bend.  I really like your version of a cut in pass, very elegant. 

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys. 

With this style of arrow pass, and the leather shelf I glue into it, I can set the bow up as if it is shooting off the hand.

[Marc St Louis]

Hi Marc,

Very classy bow...looks like quite a shooter!  (BTW: Cold down here this year!)

Hi Rand
I guess you are getting the tail end of our cold snap, we are going to get -30's as overnight lows this week.

Are you still shooting that recurve I made you?

[PEARL DRUMS]

Nice looking bow Marc. Id recognize your bows a kilometer away.

[vinemaplebows]

Very nice Marc...Maple backed red cedar is a fine combo!

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.  I am quite pleased with this bow.  If it wasn't so bloody cold outside I would shoot it some more

[bushboy]

Same cold front here!I've shot bbe in this weather,is there a breaking point. Where a. Bow will fail in -30's. ?self/lam?

[Marc St Louis]

It's not the cold that will break a bow.  It's the drying out of the wood from repeated exposure to the cold, which tends to dry out wood by itself, then bringing the bow back in to the warm dry air of the house. 

I was Deer hunting with an Elm recurve many years ago and it was a particularly cold Fall.  After a week of this cold/warm cycle the back of the bow failed in tension as I was exercising it on my stand.
