Capt's 2nd Bow, Osage recurved (Now with Money Shot)
« Reply #45 on: September 24, 2013, 05:58:31 pm »
Thanks Everyone for the great advice and Kind compliments....  :)

I am pretty happy with this one to be honest. I really liked working with the Osage i know its hard but still much easier to work than the Tzalam (1st bow)

Came out 62" NTN, hit my weight 60#@28" (or a touch over 55#@27"), and i like the bit of Deflex to recurved tips..... Still id like to get my snake skins on... don't want to call it finished until then...

Here are some pics taken this morning i got the set out to where i want it and put in some profile shots and marked up the handle...

oh and the money shot as you all put it... ;)

Bests to all, Capt

That is an awesome bow for your second! Well done! I really like the way the grain feathers nicely from the grip into the fades. Fresh osage looks so good!

Good looking bow Cap. You did a good job with that osage, so well its hard to believe thats only your second bow. I'm thinking we'll be seeing more fine bows from you soon.

I'm real happy with how they are coming out too.. I've built a bit of furniture in the past so I've got some woodworking experience and have shaped surf boards which takes some similar type skill in terms of having an eye for symmetry and such... its been a real learning curve but a thoroughly enjoyable challenge... and the end result will be the best of it... >:D Time to head out and get me some game....
