Grass carp/osage/recurve (pic heavy)
« on: March 02, 2011, 01:11:26 am »
I have had this one done for a few days, and have been shooting it alot, to make sure it's ready for another's hand.I think it's ready.

 Since it is March 1st I figured I'd get the ball rolling in wait to all those bow trade build alongs that will soon be coming. Looking forward to see what all is coming up with.

63" 51# @ 27"  Skinny little thing 1 1/8" at the handle tapering to smallish tips of buffalo and bone overlays. Hard for me to take pics well enough to do the beauty of these skins justice, but it is my favorite bow of this years bow building season.

This one is going to Ohio. Hope he is pleased. Thanks for looking.

Wow gorgeous bow Tim.  Love the carp skins and of course that handle wrap.  You're really pumping out some beauties lately.

And of course a money shot. The bottom limb is 1/8" positive.
