53" Osage static recurve finished today. (lots of pics)
« on: March 17, 2011, 08:32:42 pm »
Hello all. I finished a bow today from an osage stave that had been giving me the evil eye from the corner for a few days and decided I would turn it into a static recurve...So I did and here it is... the bow is made from a single piece of three year cured osage and is 53" Long 52" from string groove to string groove, is right at 55 #'s @ 26". I am pleased this bow will pull half of it length with no complaints. The handle is smoked brain tanned mule deer. Nice simple hunting bow.
Enjoy the pics.

Eric

Great looking bow! The full draw reveals a perfect tiller, and I mean perfect. Side note: Which tribe/ clan are you from. And I mean no offense. My Grandfather is 1/2 Lakota Sioux Fox Clan I believe.

Bill, I am CHICKASAW from the OKA-LA-FA-LAY-A clan and the house of CUSH-KE-RE. Translation is "People of the big water".
I have spent the last 27 years among the Comanche's and was Adopted into the tribe in 1988. My main bowmaking reflects the plains Tribes. I do make an oddball like this once in a while. I do also make an occasional eastern longbow as well.

Very Nice.  I like the full draw pic.  I've been wanting to make a recurve. I like the simple sleek design of that bow.

 Now, that's my kind of bow, short and simple.

My short bows are 60" t/t osage static recurves. Now I have another goal to reach. My draw is 26" so I'll have to try a 53" now.
  Very cool little bow. I love the simplicity of your work. Thanks again for sharing it with us.  8)
