Osage Recurve
« on: May 27, 2010, 03:32:21 pm »
I finished up an osage recurve a couple of weeks ago.  It's 67" ntn, pulls 46#@29", has 2" of reflex (at rest), has wenge tip overlays, a floppy rest, curves bent with dry heat, and is 1 1/4" at the fades tapering to 1/2" at the tips.  Here's some pics of the process:
