Title: Black Locust character r/d/recurve (pic heavy)
Post by: huisme on October 11, 2013, 09:42:46 pm

Last pics on the camera for a while, gotta get a new one or something sometime soon.

Edit: Alright, to be honest I don't know what to call the design  ???

Black locust with character tips and slight natural deflex. some odd density issues threw me off at first but I managed to even things out. I'll measure things next time I find the tape  ::)

50#@28"
1/2" set just unstrung from ten shots
Jute wrap and leather rest

Again, I'll get someone with a working camera to help with the full draw  ::)
