Greg Coffey from Javaman Bows just contacted me and he is going to get started on my Helms Deep shorty recurve.
It will be 52" amo, 45# @ 28".
The wood is Birdseye Maple stained light brown.
Water Buffalo Horn tips. And a black leather wrapped handle.
It's getting started.

Re: It's getting started.
Sounds great!
Re: It's getting started.
oooooh man! I'm excited for you Graps!
with that heavily deflexed riser and those static tips that shorty should be mighty smooth, even with a looong draw.
I hope to be on his list someday myself, but at this point in time I would sign up for his longer static tip recurve.
What made you decide on on a maple helms deep?

Re: It's getting started.
I really like Birdseye Maple and I like short bows.
I have hunted most of my life with a K-mag and I think that Helms Deep will be a deluxe version of that. And in the past few years I have needed to use a low grip like on a longbow and that bow has just that.

Ooooooo!!!! Thats exciting!!! I love the looks of Gregs bows! I really fell for the Helms deep too, since you brought it to my attention. Really nice bows!
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
Re: It's getting started.
Greg has agreed to send me some pictures as the build goes along.
So look for them in a week or so.
I'll put them on here.
