Title: 60" Osage/Boo recurve
Post by: oneeye on February 07, 2010, 06:52:59 pm

Trying to clean up the shop and get on with bigger and better things.   Started with 5 1/2 " reflex and has lost almost an inch of that.   Just got this one to brace its a bit heavy and still needs a little work though. Maybe tomorrow! ;)   Scott

HOLY MOLY! :o   That is my favorite style of bow.  The curves are awesome. The shape of the handle is perfect, and I love the wood backing combo!
 Can't wait to see it finished!

Wow, that is a lot of reflex. Did you have any trouble keeping the tips aligned? The bow looks terrific.

It's been awhile since I've built one of these,  I put this one together in 2006 so the tips gave me some trouble had to remember which side to shave. it was kind of confusing for me but they're real close now. hope to have it done this week.  Scott
