Title: Osage Recurve "HUGIN"
Post by: Rusty on January 08, 2017, 05:38:15 pm
Hi,

after a quite long break in bow building (last post i presented a bow was in 2008) - I started last year again with working on bows...
(thanks to simson, I was animated by him to post some pics of the bow...)

Osage Recurve
60" NTN
50# @ 27"
10 strands FF

tried to bring the bow 5" reflex, after tillering and about 1000 arrows 2" left, I am happy with the result :)

Cheers,
Roman

Wow!  That bow has a lot of similarities to Simsons work.  I hope you don't mind me saying so...but if I wanted to be compared to a Bowyer it would certainly be him.  I can't find anything I don't like about that stick n string.

Glad, I could affect you to come back. Your bows are definitely a pleasure to look at. Nice and clean work on this one – and great pics too! Tiller looks perfect. Now you have to return in the shop to crank out ‘Munin’.

Thank you for posting that Ode-in.

Man that's a lot of reflex and a LOT of brace height. Awesome bow, pleasing to look at and probably even better to shoot!

Very nice looking bow Rusty,
 I like the nice crisp edges and angles, it makes everything about the bow look very neat.
