It is 61 # @ 28" and 62" between the nocks, and now has Buffalo tip overlays, this is the first
BBO Recurve I have built, and not because I build it, but it absolutly amazing, it really spits an arrow. IMG]http://i257.photobucket.com/albums

WOW. That is a very impressive piece of work my friend!

Roy from Pa · February 12, 2008, 02:21:00 PM

That is quite a recurve, congrats.

Bert Frelink · February 12, 2008, 03:03:00 PM

I guess I should explain, I have build lots of glass and selfbows just never a BBO recurve.
I am building this one as a "one of a kind"for a customer that wanted something different, I am sold on the design myself, can't wait to do another.
Have to finish up a few glass bows first.
Lucas, good to see you.
Thank you guys for the kind words.
Bert.
Cheers, Bert.

Those BBO bows are tough to beat. Great looking bow. Did you temper the Boo? Dean

Chris Surtees · February 12, 2008, 03:41:00 PM

Very nice!

Bert Frelink · February 12, 2008, 05:10:00 PM

Hi Dean,
No I steam bend the Osage first and then bend the Bamboo with dry heat on the same jig, then ran a toothing plane on both surfaces and glued them up with Smooth-on.
