Title: Rawhide-Backed Osage Recurve
Post by: Will B on May 16, 2024, 04:33:07 pm

It’s been awhile since I posted a bow on here. I’ve had difficulty posting photos the way I used to.  This is a trial to see if my photos show up. I recently finished a 67” Osage recurve.  The stave had very thin rings so I chased the best one and backed it with rawhide. I stained the rawhide with Fiebings dark brown leather dye. The bow is 50# @ 28” and was made as a gift for a young man who plans to hunt with it.
The bow was finished with seven coats of Tru-oil and a finish spray coat of spar urethane. Thanks for looking.

Very nice bow, super clean and neat. Were you expecting pics to show up or just the link to your album? You can insert individual pictures into your post by using the 'Share' button in the bottom right of the slideshow on Flickr.

Thanks for the tip on posting individual photos, mmattockx.  I’m pretty challenged when it comes to computers. Much appreciated!

Thanks Jim!

Great looking bow! I like that unstrung profile, wish I could keep mine that flat with recurved tips. Nice work!
