Post by: BOWMAN53 on May 16, 2013, 07:38:03 pm: Lol a little play on words. Heres a hickory recurve with padauk and osage accents. Came out to 50# @27".
And its 61" long.

Post by: RyanY on May 16, 2013, 08:21:56 pm: Thats a play on words I can get behind. ;) Might want to be careful about how you shape your overlays. Looks a little fragile. Great tiller!

I wanted to do something different. Wood this pretty deserves something fancy.

Found padauk can get very brittle as it gets older so keep an eye out for it ;)

Post by: toomanyknots on May 17, 2013, 08:58:47 am: Great bow! I would be careful about those nocks though too, padauk always breaks on me if it is too thin. Very nice though!
