like it said here it is 61 1/4" ntn 51# @ 27",belly split off an osage stave I got in a trade with Dean Marlow, thanks man it's a great stave, has a little funky character was deflexed on one side reflexed on the other right at the handle, I ended up heat treating the belly and removed most of that at the same time(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/my%20horn%20bow/trade%202014/101_4511_zps804c011c.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/my%20horn%20bow/trade%202014/101_4511_zps804c011c.jpg.html)

I also did a racket style grip for the first time using Timo's build a long, have wanted to try this grip for some time I sure like the way it feels in the hand

Looks real nice bubster, you worked those character issues out just fine. I like all the profiles, the bend, and the good looking handle work too. Whoever gets that will be set for hunting season and will no doubt be thrilled with the bow.
-
That is a sweet one, Bub. It shore is tough on us lefties makin them righty bows, ain't it. ;)
-
thanks Greg, Kenny the only thing I do different is where I put the rest, that can be the problem I don't know how many I put on the wrong side the first time :laugh:

I want to thank all of you that posted thanks for the kind words, i'll have to wait till payday to ship so it will be after the 10th, but if you don't know it's yours the wait won't matter, right >:D

Really nice Bubby, love the lines of the profiles. I know this bow is a fast one
-
That bow has everything. Excellent.
-
thanks dwardo
thank you simson, and you are correct it is pretty fast I kind of wondered the effect of the added mass around the knothole but I haven't noticed anything
-
Yes folks, this one is mine!! ;D ;D
Had me grinning and giggling like a fool when I opened the package. Very fine bow and sure seems to be fast as far as I can tell.
Thank You Bubby!
-
I did a racket style grip on one bow, good stuff. Very comfortable. :) You can find old rackets at the thrift shops for pennies.
-
I didn't use a racket grip 101, I cut a strip of leather, tapered the ends to fit and then beveled all the edges

-
That's a great how to. I used it on the ash recurve I just posted a while back. That's on great looking bow Bub.

Yep! Another great bow! Anyone would be proud to receive that one. Nice job!
