Osage recurve 55#@28”
« on: December 24, 2018, 01:37:30 pm »
Here’s an Osage recurve I just finished up I have an ever so slightly shorter twin started from the same stage that was wide enough to make a pair. It pulls 55#at 28”. The nocks and brush nocks are water buffalo horn. I decided to experiment with te handle wrap by cutting a strip of lace from a piece of leather I had and trying a loose basket weave. It took a couple tries to get it right, I think I like it.and it feels good. After weaving it on tight while wet, it got even more tight when dry. The bow took a bit more set than I had hoped for but still within a point im content with and shoots well.

Thanks for looking
Kyle

Nice one!
i really like your craftsmanship,
Sorry but the handle leather grip I wouldn't put on mine.
Take your time to make the signature and specs, this is a little detail, you can do better.
Thanks for sharing

Nice job Kyle.  I bet it draws smooth and shoots well.  What's the bow length?
