I really like the fadeouts. In a dead spot you can do whatever you want but this is a really good idea of design

That bow is really amazing. Beautiful profile and bend. I really like the shape of your fades with the center ridge line on the belly. Does that extend much beyond the fades?  Thanks for posting your work here!

On this bow the center ridge fades out with the fades.
I also have made lot of bows with ridges over the entire limbs.

Thanks Stimson. I’d like to try that on a future bow. That’s a real beauty!

This was one of several staves of very dark osage staves, as mentioned above (natural color).
My finish is a home brewed hardening oil, made out of linsed oil, carnauba wax, orange oil and some other ingredients. I make 8 coatings with 1 day drying inbetween on all of my bows.

A most impressive bow!  You do excellent work, and I hope it inspires rather than intimidates others to follow your examples!

I do hope that my work is inspiring to others. In no way do I want to intimidate anyone, I don't think there is anyone here (at least I hope not) who intends to do so.

Simson that’s a beauty! I like the recurves. I’ve got one that I need to flatten the hooks on a bit. Can I copy that part?😁the rest I could not copy anyway.😁Arvin

Simson do you find any real advantage of the ridge vs. a rounded belly? Arvin
