Osage Static Recurve
« on: September 17, 2015, 08:00:01 pm »
Howdy, gang.  Here's a bow I built back in March of last year but never got around to posting.  It's a year and a half old but is stored in my bow locker at the range, so it hasn't seen much sunlight.  I thought it should at least get its picture taken.  Here's the particulars:

-Osage with rosewood, padauk, and stabilized curly maple brush nocks
-40#@28"
-63.5" NTN
-Pyramidal limbs that taper from 1.5" at the fades to .5" at the tips
-2" of static reflex
-Tri-tone camo stain back treatment
-Frosted lacquer finish

Thanks for looking!

So many things to like! So will just start with . . . back treatment is super!

  Beautiful job on that bow all the way around. I don't care for the use of modern arrow rests on primitive bows but she is still a beauty in all respects.

Man, that sure is a pretty bow, and some really pretty nocks! Beautiful bend too. Did you buy that rest, or did you kinda rig it or make one from a normal stick on rest?
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

OH man, that's a beauty.  Glad it's out of the locker and enjoying the light of day.  That's a fine bit of craftsmanship.  Shoot that sweetie!

Took me a minute to catch on to what your were saying Eddie "plastic"......................"modern arrow rest"....I agree....  :) ;) I've actually have one of those on my bear whitetail II compound back when I was shooting fingers and one pin on my combound.
