Nice job Dave!  I am trying to decide if you are shooting it to the left in both of your pictures because its a selfbow or if its democrat...lol
I think you should name it "Jackie-G" after Jackie Gleason, do you remember"How sweet it is!"?

Cool looking bow for sure! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hey I might enlist you in giving me a hand taking the weight down on two of mine. The bamboo backed hickory I had up at your place and a static tipped recurve that I believe is hickory with an unknown to me backing.

I would also like to invite you folks down for a n afternoon of bow building. One of the Columbia boys is holding it at his place and we'll have fun watching yellow dust fly and listening to stories/lies. Later in the day we'll be firing up the grill for at least burgers and brats.
If you think you might be interested shoot me an e-mail and I'll get you all of the info including directions.

God bless,Mudd

PS: You really should give some serious consideration to "Jackie-G"...lol

I think the wife likes this one so I might have to name it yellow fever.
as far as the curve, I used dry heat from a heat gun and clamped it to a caul that I made from 2x8s.

Nice bow ,well done, how about the "Osage Queen"...
Title: Re: my new favorite bow
Post by: on May 30, 2010, 07:31:00 PM
Really pretty and I bet it shoots nice.  Someday I will figure out what I do wrong with osage  and try again.  Or, you could put it on the auction and we can all fight over yours. Just kidding.

That's beautiful; osage makes a really  pretty bow.  Whether "Ol' Yeller" or "yellow fever", it sure is nice.  Great job!

Hey DVSHUNTER  if its both a righty or lefty and you want to put it to the real test why not ship it to Gray Buffalo and let him put it through its paces for you..lol


God bless,Mudd

PS: I am grateful that GB lives far enough away that by the time he could get to my house he'd have surely cooled down by then..lol
