24/7 hunter · 02-04-2006, 02:28 PM

I ordered a recurve building kit last week from binghamprojects.com and it finally came. I have the riser and other parts cut out and I am gluing it together tonight. Ill post pics when it is done. Wish me luck.Has anybody here ever made a glass laminated recurve? if so please post a pic. I would like to see it.

I have made many, but my pics won't post here they are too large for this site.

I will like to see the one your making

OK I hope this one loads up.

I copied the model from an old catalog and made the riser with cocobolo and zapele limbs backed with graphite fabric and epoxy sealer.
Sold this one recently for $450. It was #53 @ 28 " draw
