Happy Birthday Bow
« on: May 11, 2009, 06:31:44 pm »
I made an osage recurve and gave it to my wife for her birthday on Saturday!! ;D ;D  It's 56" ntn and pulls 27" @ 42#, backed with prarie rattler skins, it has buff tip overlays.  It's 1 1/2" wide at the fades and tapers down to 1/2 tips.  It rained for the most part on Saturday so she shot it all morning on Mother's Day.  She had a great time but she didn't want me to post any of her pics ::).   I made her some other goodies including a stringer, forearm protector, and 5 arrows.  I really had a good time making this one.  Joe H

Great looking bow! Really sweet detail work, and nice curves, too.  My birthday is only a few months away.....;D

Beautiful set. Love the curves. My birthday was the 5th of May, but I am still accepting late presents...

Obviously you have some real skill at working with the details. Great bow and bookmarked, too, for May Self Bow of the Month
