You did good on those three, Greg. I have to stop and build bend in the handle bows for a while, after making the stiff handles. They are relaxing and fun.

Yeah, it would be a hoot to exercise the osage one that's not spoken for ... assuming that's still the case at end of April!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

  • If the wood will bend, I'll make it beautiful!

Those are just beautiful Greg! Your work inspires me! I'm working on a bendy handle recurve right now. I hope it turns out half as good as yours did.

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Each one beautiful! That new handle wrapping is so Indian, where do you get your inspiration? Love the Scalloped bow! Great color on that one.  :) thanks for taking the time to post.
