I picked up a beautiful 1960 Replica by Korte. The woods are Paduk and Macassar.
I think it’s absolutely stunning 🔥

It is. With some occasional levity mixed in to keep us all on our toes!
Sorry if my comment(s) took things off-track and, as a consequence, detracted from the original topic or made this thread off-putting. My attempts to be comical are often blunderous.

LOL. Brilliant, Darren! Nothing a couple wood screws or Duct Tape can't fix though, right?
Maybe a sticker or two on each limb to really drive the thought home...

Rick,
I really did get lucky on this one. The Macassar Ebony is stunning and the draw weight is perfect. I think it looks as nice or better than the Bear Limited Edition and it seems to shoots an arrow with authority. What more can a guy ask for. Maybe if it came with a beer holder. lol

Richard definitely has this bow figured out! They're all great-looking bows and I've shot several. Each one's been very impressive. Nice find, Darren!

I've been shooting this bow for about a week now and I'm impressed!!! The low-grip just feels good in my hand and the physical weight makes it a pleasure to carry. It really spits out an arrow too >>>-------->

Darren, you are correct about how he builds. You can send him a “wish list” and when he has something close he contacts you. I followed his “how to “ thread on Leatherwall, his finishing methods are pure work. But his results are fantastic.

It is a beauty, but if you decide to sell it will go quickly.

From what I’ve heard over the years Mr. Korte does not take orders. You just have to contact him to see what he has in stock.

I agree, it looks just as nice as the Limited Edition.

Stunning to say the least. I have admired his work for a long time. A couple we shoot with took a road trip to see him. The wife bought one of his bows, outstanding craftsmanship.
