Charlie Lamb and I started talking about a home grown recurve a couple of years ago.
I always wanted an osage recurve and that is one of Lambs specialties. I’ve also enjoyed the way Juniper limbs look but since Missouri doesn’t have an abundance of juniper
, I started playing around with some red cedar.
My brother was kind enough to harvest and work up some cedar pieces from his farm. I found the piece of osage for the riser on a farm that I hunt on here in Weston. So the bow is a little bit of Weston where I live now, and a little bit of where I grew up near Springfield. Hence the name “Homey”.
Lamb sent me some teaser pics a couple of weeks ago. He purposely didn’t show me anything. This is all I got
This last weekend saw the project come to completion. Charlie drove all the way over from St. Louis to deliver my new bow. It left me speechless.
I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. It goes without saying but I am certainly grateful for all the hard work that Lamb put into this bow. You’re the master bud! Can’t wait to break this one in on some hogs in a couple of weeks.
