Recurve bow
« on: June 19, 2013, 05:43:28 pm »
I like recurves and wanted to build this design for a long time and here it is. Its three layers, Osage, Jatoba and BamBoo with maple and purpleheart in the handle, overlays and inlays. I heat bent each layer before gluing. Its 60” tip to tip, 1 ¾ wide max, 55#@26”. It shoots great but I want to build another to see if I can get 60# out of that design.
I would like to enter it into bow of the month.

It's got "pretty" written all over it!  You are making it hard for me to resist these modern laminates!

Nice work.  Lovely design.  Beautiful woods. 

You have to be an active subscription holder for PA magazine in order to enter your bow in BOM.  Send criveraville a PM for details.
