First Osage from Rainman glued up with Purpleheart center, Jatoba power lam and Hickory backing. Something special with that yellow wood.

Looking good Bue

Yeah Bue, that is going to be a looker!

I finally found a Texaco bow, time to test it out

Pat B · April 25, 2023, 08:06:55 AM

Makes you wonder if Texaco could pull that bow if it were properly strung.

I'll be heading to Twin Oaks and the Tenn Classic a week from today. I've been waiting a year for this day to come.

Yep---me too

There is a guy on FB who has actually built some bows like this, looking to be strung backwards. He based the design on the images from a decorative Greek urn! Methinks the ceramic artist who decorated the urn was no archer and got the design bassackwards! Or maybe not ...

Y'all can decide what you think

Buemaker · April 25, 2023, 05:41:07 PM

Opposite of recurve could be decurve.

Crooked Stic · April 25, 2023, 06:22:01 PM

Or de saster

Crooked Stic · April 26, 2023, 09:35:15 PM

I got one finished today. Calling it Cracked Osage. 61 in. 47@28

Bryan Adolphe · April 26, 2023, 10:15:25 PM

Great job ! That Osage looks real nice

Pat B · April 27, 2023, 09:54:27 AM

Nice looking bow, Mike. Reminds me of a selfbow I built a few years ago...

Mad Max · April 27, 2023, 05:08:59 PM

Spalted Osage veneers

Bryan Adolphe · April 27, 2023, 05:26:56 PM

Those veneers look awesome!

Pat B · April 27, 2023, 10:08:43 PM

Yep Rebecca told me they would be there

Put first coat of oil on this one today. Hickory, Jatoba powerlam, Purpleheart, Osage, Elm and Merbau riser.

I glued up a one piece recurve yesterday. Today I cleaned up one edge and ran it through my thickness sander to 1 5/8". I strung it up to check tiller and that the limbs were straight. It was nice and straight so I shaped the limbs and routed in the shelf prior to gluing on tips and a handle overlay.
