bois de arc recurve lots of pictures
« on: February 04, 2008, 04:55:49 pm »
This is the bow that i have worked on just a little every now and then and then put it back in the corner. its kinda the project, in- between projects, if any of you are like that too.

well its finished
un backed Osage recurve,  60 inches long 1 3\4 wide and tapers at the tips to 1\2.
tips are Black walnut. hand twisted string with muskrat silencers
i stained the leather grip with some black walnut hulls to give it kinda of antique look.
oh and its just over 60lbs @26"
she zips right along. but has that distinctive recurve sound, i like my recurves, but not like i love my whisper quiet longbows

i got 3 incrimental pictures of the draw, just to show the last couple inches, not sure why but i got'em so i'm gonna show 'em- Ryan

The bow is cool and so is the chair -- did you make both?
