First Osage from Rainman glued up with Purpleheart center, Jatoba power lam and Hickory backing. Something special with that yellow wood.

I finally found a Texaco bow, time to test it out

Pat B · « **Reply #484 on:** April 25, 2023, 08:06:55 AM »

Makes you wonder if Texaco could pull that bow if it were properly strung.

I'll be heading to Twin Oaks and the Tenn Classic a week from today. I've been waiting a year for this day to come.

There is a guy on FB who has actually built some bows like this, looking to be strung backwards. He based the design on the images from a decorative Greek urn! Methinks the ceramic artist who decorated the urn was no archer and got the design bassackwards! Or maybe not …

Y’all can decide what you think

Opposite of recurve could be decurve.

Or de saster

Bryan Adolphe · « **Reply #492 on:** April 26, 2023, 10:15:25 PM »

Great job ! That Osage looks real nice

Nice looking bow, Mike. Reminds me of a selfbow I built a few years ago...

Put first coat of oil on this one today. Hickory, Jatoba powerlam, Purpleheart, Osage, Elm and Merbau riser.

I glued up a one piece recurve yesterday. Today I cleaned up one edge and ran it through my thickness sander to 1 5/8”. I strung it up to check tiller and that the limbs were straight. It was nice and straight so I shaped the limbs and routed in the shelf prior to gluing on tips and a handle overlay.
