I finished this one up last week. Its a simple osage "D" bow with reflexed tips. It 60" ntn, 50# @ 28". It has a few knot holes in each limb. Its a zippy little thing with an 8 strand D10 string.

Ifinsihed this one 3 weeks ago, or so. Its also 60" ntn but has 3 layers of sinew and hide glue under Wester Diamondback skins. The tips are wenge and osage lam'ed together. It pulls 48# @ 28" and is very smooth.

No D, just R in all my bows. I use dry heat to do all my shaping. Static recurves get steamed.
