Hop hornbeam static recurve
« on: Today at 12:20:31 pm »
Here is my entry for Nov B.O.M contest.

It is a hop hornbeam recurve. 43# at 28". 68 inches NTN, 1 3/4 inches at fades and through mid limb. A few knots on the back and had to tinker with the heat gun quite a bit to get the tips well aligned. String is polish hemp with silk serving around the nock point. Handle wrap is home tanned buckskin with a walnut dye. Finish is 2 layers of spirit varnish and a coat of paste wax (all homemade).

It's a sweet and easy shooter with no handshock. I have not put it through the chronograph yet.

A few more shots. It's really hard for me to keep good quality photos when resizing them, I'm learning as i go!
