Will B:
Looks good Dave. Just curious what type of scale do you use to weigh your sinew and your sinew-backed bow. I’ve been thinking of getting one.

Thanks Dave

I made some progress on this Osage recurve. I glued up and shaped some ebony tip overlays using TB3 and started the tillering process. I like to use a long string till I get the bow limbs bending evenly. As soon as I can comfortably string the bow I get it to low brace. Everything looks pretty good to my eye so far and the string is tracking down the center of the handle. Shooting for ~55# @ 26”
