First Osage Recurve
« on: January 19, 2013, 03:48:00 PM »
I have been at this osage thing for about two years and want to thank all of you who have helped along the way.  I still have a lot to learn but am happy to be turning out a few shootable bows.  Anyway, here is my third osage bow and the first recurve.  
It is called SCAR because of a couple ugly marks on the handle and also the skins don't even close to match.  61" ntn and 55# @ 27".  It took a lot more work to get the arrow flight just right but here it is.  Thanks for looking.

Very nice job.  That's one type of bow that always tickles my fancy, particularly when it's done well.  Kudos!

Nice job. It's good to see another southpaw shooter.

That is a beautiful bow.  I'm trying something similiar.  I'm wondering how much of the tip area did you curve?  I'm also wondering to limb width from handle to tip and the thickness overall.  Thanks for the information.
