Static osage recurve

[rossfactor]

Yeah Ryan  I defintely agree with you on the pic you showed there.  There is a singificant amount of wasted working limb in that bow, plus it the extra long handle looks wrong.  There's a middle ground somewhere  .  And finding the balance is what bowyering is all about.

Thanks,

That's a tricky design to pull off at that weight - I'm impressed with your skill!

That bow is super cool.

I've been going back to the photos of this bow time after time trying to figure out what it is about it that sets me off.  I finally figured it out...it's the string angle at full draw. 

Go back and look at it again.  You'll understand why.  Yowza!

Man that bow is awesome.

thanks again guys

JW-  what about the string angle catches your eye?

[toomanyknots]

MAN I can't get enough of looking at your bow. Really great work.

[Jodocus]

Don't know what catches his eye , but what I like about that angle is that the recurve is actually working almost over the entire draw lenght. At full draw, the string is just pulled away from the limb, but only just. After all, that is what a recurve is actually about, besides from looking good.

This is a mighty fine bow, really a pleasure to look at.

That is a fantastic bow!
