Bamboo backed Osage Static Recurve
« on: May 22, 2008, 05:27:00 PM »
My dads been wanting to do one of theese for a while but we have been busy with other bows. Well he got the form made and built a couple. The first was a learning experience heating and bending the tips.This is some pics of the second one. It is sweet, I was amazed at how it shoots. I dont have a chronograph but I know it is faster than my R/D longbow that We built. This bow is made of Argantine Osage and a Bacote riser and power strip. Its also a Tri-lam. 50# at 28".

JD Jones has or atleast had a great build along on here...not sure if it's still here or not.  If so check it out if you havent already.

Beautiful bow btw!

Wanted to ask if you cut a shelf on the bow.  If so how deep?

Awesome bow! Why do they call it a "power strip"?
