Osage recurve for Konny 40/28 (No. 36)
« on: February 02, 2014, 03:14:09 pm »
This bow goes to a good guy for a 60. birthday present.

(ALL THE BEST TO YOU – KONNY!)

I found a nice piece of flickered Osage in my pile, kinda natural camo. The stave needed a lot of corrections , twist and sideways. The recurves are steam bent.
A nice pair of cow horn overlays were put on. They have a 3 d effect, nearly transparent, a bit like mother of pearl. Never saw this before (hard to see in the pics).The upper comes wit an additional groove, as the new owner is used to use a stringer.
Arrow pass is an inlay of glue+earth pigments.

Length 61“ ntn
brace 6½“
40#/28“

Another very nice, well tillered bow Simon. I love the mottled osage and the cow horn tip overlays.

Beautiful profiles.  The unbraced is really nice especially with all that bend midlimb.  Very nice Sir!

Excellent bow Simon! I love that braced profile and drawn profile. Ive been kicking around a working recurve idea and you just nudged me over the edge. I need to get started soon!

Another fine one Simon. I really like the shape of the recurves. What did you use to get that radius? That is the sweetest recurve shape I've seen.
