Title: Osage Recurve 63#@28"
Post by: Weylin on March 26, 2019, 10:31:38 am
Hey, folks. It's been a while since I shared a bow. Here is a nice simple osage recurve that I just finished. Pretty stout at 63#@28". It's 62" long from nock to nock. I stained it with a steel wool/vinegar concoction. The tips are buffalo horn and the handle wrap is elk leather with kangaroo lace.

Very nice! As others have noted, the tips are superb! It looks like a 90 degree curve!

Flawless execution - a masterpiece again.
That kink in the upper limb is tricky

Wow!
Like the used look from the stain!
I had a nock like yours, my brother who shoots it, just broke of the top of the horn by bracing the bow. That doesn't mean something to your bow just saying be careful!

Gorgeous bow sir. That stain technique really brings out the character in that beautiful piece of wood.

Any chance of a how-to on the staining?

it almost gives it an aged look, and a bit of natural camo. looks awesome (SH)
