Cool little bow Goat and nice save too. I realy like the hollow pith area on that oceanspray. It surely does have that paleo look too. I can see that bow in a turkey blind this spring.   Danny

  Clever little bow!  I have done some with that exact profile from little plum suckers and trees, with great succes, but they were a good deal longer, in the high 50's.  So, both you and oceanspray got me beat.

  It sure is fun to just whip out your pocketknife and tiller out a little project bow, or kid's bow, isn't it?

That's a sweet little bow. :D Did you do the recurves when you heat treated or over the campfire? I've noticed that it likes to be dry too. Makes me wonder if it's like hickory and wants to be in the single digit MC range? After my last attempt at keeping the bark on failed I think I've given up on that, maybe. :-\
Nice bow!

Thanks guys.
DC, I heat treated with a heat gun first, bent my curves in with steam, then heated those up while still in the form.  yes? It seems like you can't really speed dry OS.

I enjoy seeing these "simple" bows as much as the fancy ones.  I wouldn't want to get hit by an arrow out of it.
Really cool little stick!
