Couple of new ones
« on: October 09, 2013, 10:56:48 pm »
Haven't posted much, got a couple to show. Both osage. Both have horn tips (thanks pearl). The one with flipped tips is 61 ntn. 54@ 26. I wrapped the fades with hemp to try a different look. Rest and plate is made out of same horn. 3 small past though holes. Simple leather and lace handle. The next one was from a deflexed belly split. Heated it straight and lost some of it as you can see in the unbraced photo. Rawhide backed with leather dye(thanks blackhawk for hide). 3 1/2 " radius hooks. 58 ntn and 49@ 26. jute and hemp wrap handle. Both of these bows are shooting real nice for me. Sorry for all the pics
first one is the flipped tips

Both of those are top notch.  Great job.  I really like them both.  Something about that static is just sweet.   :)

Two absolute stunners there.  8)
Both have great profiles resting, strung and drawn.
I have a deflexed stave that is similar. I flipped the tips but it refused to take any other reflex and always settled back to where it started. Still it took very little set.

Atta boy Paul, I knew you had to have a couple new beauties laying around to post for our viewing pleasure. Real nice bows, both of of 'em. The curves in the second one are just perfect.  They look like hard hitting arrow launchers to me and I agree the finish work looks great. Looking forward to seeing them in person.
