Nice!  WHat kind of wood is in the handle?

[Ray]

Thank you.

It's all yew laminations with fiberglass added on the belly and back.. There are some Thunderbird models  I have seen turned out with Ipe using Black or Brown glass on the belly and back which looked good too. I have not even shot this bow yet. Never shot a recurve (not that I can remember anyway). Hopefully I can get around to it this week.

Did Jay make that for you?
or is it an original?

No, it's not an original Thunderbird (circa 1953-54). It is a 2nd Generation model which Jay made.
