Title: osage static recurve
Post by: Echatham on February 13, 2014, 10:47:00 AM
she ended up light in # just like her sister (sister stave to copperhead if anybody remembers that one)  flipped the tips to regain some weight, and lifted some splinters in the process, and so i added the walnut and curly maple underlays. tips are water buffalo and bubinga.  40#@29".  66" ntn, 19.5 oz mass weight. my best yet as far as lack of set.  only took an inch and a half. Thanks for looking, and sorry i can't get a better full draw pic... the weather outside is frightful.

very nice im messing with my first now. Is the underlay to help strengthen the curve or for pretty or both.

Nice jammies by the way, you now Roys gonna jump on them!  :eek:

yeah its just to keep the curves from straightening out, but no reason to no make them pretty.  i chose walnut and soft maple for their light weight.  its a jammie kind of day    :campfire:

One of coolest bows I have seen.  I have a weak spot for recurves, it is amazing the ability you wood bow guys have.
