Old news..
« on: December 06, 2011, 08:35:51 pm »
I posted this on another site a few months back when I finished it. A few of my pal's have asked me enough times to post it here as well...they broke me down slowwwwly and it worked! ;) Im not a pic flashing kind of guy I guess. Thanks for looking and re-looking.

58" ntn
Goat rawhide backed osage
57# @ 28"
Canebrake skins over the rawhide, left natural colored.
I applied about 5-6 coats of Formbys on the belly and sides and about double that on the skinnys.

Its just a fuzz over 1 1/4" wide tapering to 5/8" static tips. The nock overlays are antler from a buck I shot a loooooong time ago with dads 22-250...legally.... 8)

Awesome bow! That sucker has a beautifull bend...  I got one quick question, When you measure a recurve's length n2n, do you measure straight between the nocks, or the length around the curves (as in the stave's origional length before it was bent)

Excellent looking bow, Drums.  A bendy handle with static tips...cool.  8)  Bring it over to Marty's in January.  I'd like to see that one up close and personal.  If I play my cards right, maybe you'll let me shoot it? >:D >:D
