Title: Timber Biter Backed Osage Recurve
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on October 31, 2013, 06:47:18 pm

I made up a real fancy bow this month. It's a Timber Rattler backed Osage recurve. As the crow flies, it's 64" tip to tip and 52# @ 28". The tips are Buffalo horn overlaid over Black Walnut. Chocolate deer skin grip and contoured handle shape.  It's a real fine shooter!  I steamed the tips and put them in a form for those that wanted to know. I am heading out of town for a few days hunting, but I will check comments and reply to any questions when I return in a few days. Thanks for looking! - Ryan

sweet work Ryan, one can always recognize one of your bows. always loved the way you stitch the leather grip to the arrow pass leather.

Ryan you always make some fine bows! I sure like this one. That bottom limb prolly woulda been impossible for me to tiller with all the bumps, but looks like you nailed it! Great job once again.

Very nice bow! I do think the lower limb by the fade should be bending a bit more though. :)
