Here is a bow I just finished up. it is a juniper recurve with deer rawhide backing. it is 57" long, 40# @26" 2" wide limbs tapered to 1/2" tips, which are overlayed with buffalo horn. I removed most of the sapwood except for about 1/4" . the stave had several knots and I gouged it with a drawknife which required a patch, so the stave sat in my shop for a couple of years until billy coaxed me into giving it a try,and I am glad I did, this bow shoots very well. I copied a northern california paint scheme and added a couple of dots and squiggles to give it more character. I finished it off with tung oil and added buckskin handle wrap.
