Very nice work man.  You are cranking them out.  I really like the curves on this one.  Did you induce reflex or just the recurves?

Thanks alot guys.
Falcon - yes osage tips. Forgot that tidbit
shaneisneato - I got the skins from Kurt at briskybows.
they were huge skins, I still have enough to back another bow.
I don't live in the woods, but in Vancouver the forest is not far.
Idahomatt - I put it on a caul and tried to cook out twist and get ride of about 1.5" of deflex. The twist was fixed, but only retained about an inch of reflex.I ended up losing it all, and only shows the slightest string follow after shooting. The recurves were boiled in

I'd like to see a buildalong of that cane wrap. What type of cane is it? it's boiled to curve it that way?

Beautiful work.  You really got the knack for sure, well done!
Got to visit Vancouver once and went up to Whistler.  A truly amazing place.

Beautiful!  The look of it personifies the Northwest.  I think you may have another Bow of the Month on your hands.

That is a beauty.  Looks like a real pleasure to shoot.  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
