Title: Ash deflex recurve
Post by: LEGIONNAIRE on February 18, 2015, 06:27:44 pm

Here's an ash deflex recurve bow, I did not take a money pic unfortunately, its now gone but ill try and get one. Thought id share this one. the bow is 55 @ 28 or somewhere in that range. Its made out of ash that came from mexico on my vacation last summer. I had fun picking out this ash :) Im not sure if I like the wood to much for heavier bow, its a little weak in compression  based on other pieces ive worked. It was certainly different than other ash Ive worked from the US which is heavier and more resillient. This type of ash is beautiful but its lighter.

Sweet bow.   Would love to see the "money pic" if you can get one.
