Good looking bow!
I know you called it a RD, but isn't it considered a full recurve, since the string touches the limbs at brace?
Nice arrow in your full draw.

Sweet bow!  Nice work!

chadwick - not too sure on the technical terms,  maybe a recurved deflex would be a more suited name

Very well done, Goatster.  That sure is a beauty.  What method did you use to get the curve into those yew tips?

Matt- I boiled these tips for about 20 minutes after the bow fully braced and pulling to 20"

Another killer stick of yew! I like how it turned out with that profile. Was that hard deflex in the handle natural?
As always, you have some good looking pin nocks on there.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
