Title: Backed white oak pyramid recurve 48#@30"
Post by: Tuomo on July 07, 2015, 08:10:43 am

Here is my newest bow, made to order. White oak, backed with hemp fibers and rawhide, mild recurves, 48# @ 30". Length is 177 cm and width is 42 mm at the widest point.

I really liked this bow, it was fun to make, sweet to draw and shoot and appearance is ok too. I should make this kind of bow for me too!

Agreed! Beautiful weapon. I like the look of the cordage around the fades a lot.

Thank you for your kind words!

I like simple bows but sometimes it is fun to make some extra, like here the mild recurves, wrappings and raw hide backing.

Very nice bow Tuomo. I might try something like this.
Is this white oak board or a stave?
How did you make the recurves? Steam? Dry heat?
