Title: Hickory Backed Osage Recurve, 60#@26
Post by: bubbles on June 27, 2016, 11:06:10 am

Hey All, 
Just finished up this one.  Hickory backed Osage.  60#@26, 60" ntn.  1 3/4" wide.  Turkey feather covered arrow rest from one of my birds this spring.  Hoping this will be my hunting bow this fall once I get used to the weight and get some arrows for it. 

--Also, I'm trying to raise money for a 600km bike rally I'm doing at the end of July, so I'm going to raffle off a bow of this style.  Send me a pm if you or somebody you know would interested and I'll let you know the details.

That came out gorgeous.  I do have a question on the tiller though....it seems to me like the bottom limb
 is a little behind the top limb...or is that just an optical illusion.


That rest has gotta be one of the most beautiful peices of wood ive ever seen!!!

Thanks everyone!  I'm pretty stoked about getting a set of arrows made up.  I really wish arrows were universal.

Really nice bow bubbles, that turkey covered arrow shelf looks sweet but I'm surprised nobody pointed out its on the wrong side of the bow.

The curviest recurves I have ever seen!  Great colors with the laminations on the handle.  A bunch of man hours went into that bows construction.  Great work!
