I don’t think I’ve shared this one yet. Here’s an Osage recurve I had recently finished. It’s part of a pair I had made from a large stave. When I originally laid it out I thought that they wanted a 27” draw. But they wanted 28”, it took a bit more set pulling the extra inch, but not much. I havnt chronied it but it shoots pretty well. Te overlays and brush nocks are water buffalo and the handle wrap was an experiment from elephant hide strips. I had to add the thread wraps as there was a side splinter I couldn’t remove without making a weak point. So some thin CA and lots of thread wrap fixed the issue. I’ll post pics of the other of the pair when I can snap some pics

Thanks for looking,
Kyle

Nice job, bow looks great, but I'm liking the artwork. A talent that I am lacking.

That cool!!!

Is there any other advantage to the brush nocks other than obviously keeping brush out of the string?

Thanks guys!
With the brush nocks, Atleast with this style, I don’t see any effect other than letting brush bounce out instead of catching in the wedge of the recurve. If I did a different style that is more like a string bridge, it would have a noticeable shift in draw weight. Since instead of the string rolling off the hook. It would have an angular lift off that would suddenly make the limbs 4” longer.
