Maple backed Osage Recurve

[Dances with squirrels]

Nice work. Unstrung, I like how the curvature of the outer limbs accelerates on its way to the tips. Most of the curves are opening up at full draw too. Excellent tillering! Good deflex placement as well. A stable, good performer if appearance is any indication.

Real nice bow Marc, my guess is she will soon abandon her compound in favor of this one.
Looks fast, you sure know your way around these high performance bow builds.

Beautiful bow Marc, she should love that.

Cool bow Marc. I could pic one of those out of a line up!

I will imprint this bow profile in my mind as a pattern to develop my skills as a bowyer.  Would be great to see a build along on a bow like this.  Thanks for sharing a fine example of your work Marc.

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.

Osage is tension strong but that's besides the point.

The arrow rest is built up tool leather.

I do believe I have done an article on this type of bow.  Maybe I'll do a build along with the next one

Great bow, and you must do the build along now that you have mentioned it.

[Carson (CMB)]

Has all the looks of a smooth speedster.    Very cool bow.

Marc I would love to see a build on this type of bow.  Have you done a self bow like this too.  If I remember right I thought I saw a elm one a while back.
