Yellow Locust Recurve
« on: June 17, 2018, 10:27:42 am »
Hello again,
my latest bow, a Yellow Locust recurve bow in a pyramid design.
Right now I can only guess the drawweight, I left my scale at a friends place. I think it s about 35-40lbs@28". The lower limb has a little bit of reflex. Got a nice piece of horn which is partielly transparent when beeing held into the light.
Hope you like it!

Another beautiful bow, Jonas. Locust is a difficult bow wood for me but obviously not you. Well done.   :OK   8)

Very nice! Great bend, too!
Didn’t know, that “yellow locust” is just another name for black locust... ...had to google that one..  :D
Well done, Jonas!

Love the bow and the translucent horn in that overlay. Very nice work indeed!
