"Two Tips" (not for BOM)
« on: July 08, 2010, 01:25:42 am »
Some of you guys might remember this bow. I built it two years ago and it was going to be my primary hunting bow. Choke cherry bark backing, osage static recurve with bendy handle.  had bought a stave from Yazoo's Dad at Hickory, NC. This stave had been cut a month before. I had this bow built and shooting in less than 3 months off the stump. After about 100 shots I saw frets in the belly. I'm sure it is because I didn't allow the wood to dry long enough. I unstrung her with hopes of fixing her later.
  At Hickory this year David Knight gave me 2 Argentine osage slats so I ground down the belly and added the slats with Urac. You can see the difference in color of the two osages. After retillering she came out at 55#@26"(original, 47#@26") and shoots very well.
  Here are a few pics...

Here are a few more pics of the recurves and tips. Also better shots of the cherry bark backing.
  One of the original elk antler tip overlays came off and instead of trying to make a match I opted to use bison horn instead...hence "Two Tips". I have this bow set up to shoot no matter which end is up.

Awesome Bow Pat!  I've always wondered if one could be saved that way... the different colored slats for the belly wood definitely adds to its appeal and beauty.  And it all comes together with the different types of horn for the tips... Great save man!  That is one of the coolest bows I have seen in awhile.   8)
