Osage recurve
« on: April 06, 2009, 10:57:18 pm »
Finished for your review is a 66" nock to nock osage recurve, pulling about 56# @ 28" I started it last fall and it sat all winter till I finally got out in the garage without the my snot freezing and finished it up. I backed it with a black silk that has some red swirls in it, not because it needed protection but for looks.

Very nice.  The bow looks like it is bending great.  Beautiful detail work with the backing, handle and tips.  Really good work.

Very sharp looking.  What did you use to apply the black silk so that it stayed black?  I'm making a cherry with black silk.

Very nicely done. It looks like a real fast shooter. Is the U.P. arming themselves with osage recurves ;D
