Author Topic: The Tollhouse Recurve Dano Contributor 2009 Member # 748 posted                        Some of ya'll may remember Timo cuttin osage back in Januray. With Tim standing in that hollowed out tree, he did kinda look like a keebler elfe but don't tell him I said that My good friend Tim gave me a piece of that gold harvest at MOJam, and I just have to make my best bow yet outa her. So I need some help, which is more important? Getting the limbs to bend even out of the fades or getting the tips to bend first? This would be my second attempt at a recurve, I would kinda like it to live. This is a primo piece of wood. Here she is roughed out, and tips steam bent. -------------------- "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green Posts: 7499 | From: Nevada | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  trashwood Charter Member Member # 827 posted                        Oooooooo looking as good as a yellar chocolate chip cookie rusty Posts: 5715 | From: fort worth, TX | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  dosbow56 Contributing Member 2006 Member # 1298 posted                     dano you humble me...... happy holidays, dave -------------------- "We watch our arrows fly.

That should make you feel more at home. -------------------- "The crappy stuff makes you a better bowyer, but the good stuff makes better bows"....Ferret Posts: 1442 | From: Sapulpa, OK | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Meathook Trad Bowhunter Member # 67 posted                        Looks sweet Dr. Dano continue the lesson please. -------------------- "Go ahead and run ya gotta sleep sometime." - Meathook's Mom Posts: 4111 | From: Western NY | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Dano Contributor 2009 Member # 748 posted                        Now I feel like Dr. Frankenstien, thanks Don!!!
