Whoah! What a good job on the finish. I really like the profile of the limbs.

Bow looks great akila! I'm trying to build one myself in spare time right now - hope she holds together :).

Very nice. I want to try a recurve one day, and I love the bone arrow plate. Nice looking overall, and I bet it shoots fast.

Akila looks great.
Tiller looks right on IMO,but you might consider a lower brace height to reduce set in the limbs.Love the looks of this bow.
thks a lot guys for your compliments..i think my self that this is my best bow so far...the brace is at mist mele....the string that i made this time a made it on the limit...i just twist her 4 times and its at fis mele by now..so  untwisting it its not an option...maybe to do other string a little longer for this bow..The limbs look like that (set) becose the wood wass deflex from the begining...its the delfex  half of the log that i split a fiew mounth a go...so.. this is it...maybe i will do another string for this bow...thks  for your replays..

The tiller shape looks pretty good but the top limb apears to be stronger in the full draw picture. Other than that you did a wonderful job for your first atempt at a recurve.

Very nice looking bow,I'm with Ryan on the top limb but other than that it looks great.
especially for you first recurve.I'm not sure where the brace should be but it dose look a little high at least for me,I guess where ever it shoots the be is OK.Very nice job on the finish work,its
a beauty. :) :)
