Wow, nice tight static bends and reflex, even.  Beautiful bows.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That bow has got to be a screamer, Simson!  Pictures are great.

Simson, I love your bows--every time.  How did you put those finger grooves under the grip?
Also, don't those sharp edges cause problems in the bendy parts of the limbs?

Again, I am amazed at your skills and artistry.

Danke schön.

Everything an osage static recurve should be. Beautiful.  8) 8) 8) 8)
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Sorry for that late response Jeff!
The fingergrooves are just some pieces of leather lacings, glued on the grip with a drop of super glue. When the handle leather covers it makes the grooves.
Edges: I left them sharp because I like the lines flowing along the wavy limbs and I want the 5 edge cross section to be visible.


Thanks again for your nice comments folks!
