Lol a little play on words. Heres a hickory recurve with padauk and osage accents. Came out to 50# @27".
And its 61" long.

Thats a play on words I can get behind.  ;) Might want to be careful about how you shape your overlays. Looks a little fragile. Great tiller!

Nicely done Bowman, those padauk accents really stand out.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I've never seen tips quite like that.  I like them!  Nice contrast with the wood choices too.

Are you from Paducah, Kentucky?
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Nope california.

I wanted to do something different. Wood this pretty deserves something fancy.

Yeah padauk is my new favorite wood choice for overlays

Lovely tiller that  8)

Found padauk can get very brittle as it gets older so keep an eye out for it ;)

Killer tiller Jordan! Your getting good at this stuff.

Great bow! I would be careful about those nocks though too, padauk always breaks on me if it is too thin. Very nice though!

 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
