OBI recurve is done/finished pics
« on: February 14, 2010, 05:03:55 pm »
Osage backed Ipe,61" ntn 49#@ 28".  I split  2 kerfs in each of the tips then heat bent them to my form. Then glued back in some ipe slivers. Glued it up straight, and it has taken 1" of set.

Copperhead skins and a tennis handle wrap. Nuthin real fancy just functional. Shoots well,seems  to have good manners.
