The Tollhouse Recurve

[Linc]

Merry Christmas buddy.  

[John Scifres]

That is beautiful Dan.  Keep on her.  I love making recurves but heed Tim's advice.  They have so much less wood working that you have to treat them with care.  Lovely though.  Happy Holidays!  I got a CatQuiver lookalike from my BIL.  Bless his heart!

[Dano]

Thanks John, Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Dano
Looking good. I always get the fades out to mid limb working first.

[Buemaker]

Looking good, how long is she, nock to nock? Bue--.

[cjones]

Looking great so far, Dano.    I'm sure you'll make a sweet shooter out of her.

[clintopher]

Looks good.  I need to find a piece of wood like that for my first osage bow.  The rings look dreamy.  Keep the pics coming.

[Dano]

:D  Texoma, lets hope the snows are gone by March.

Thanks Marc, I'll work them first.

Thanks Chad, Merry Christmas to you and Shannon.

Merry Christmas all!!

Nice start Dano.  If you want a straight finished bow figure on 1 1/2" of reflex to start.  The one recurve I made took about 2" of set.  Once you get her mostly tillered you can take a ton of wood out of the curves.  

Did you see that white wood bow of Marc's that Bob Barnes had at Mojam?

Nice curves dude.  No splintering?

[Josh_IOWA]

I wanna see this one step by step!   I recently learned how much more challenging it was than a straight bow.

[infosponge]

What a job Dano!
Looks sweet to me.
Master artisans at work Siiiiiiiiiigh...    
Happy Holidays to you and yours!

[Dano]

Thanks guy's I'll try to keep you all posted on this one, she is bending pretty good from fades out right now. I like to work from fades out as well, on this one I really wasn't sure where to start.

David I wish I had seen that bow now, I didn't know anyone had one of Marc's bows, dangit.

Merry Christmas ya'all.

Vandalia, MO. how Ironic   :D

[Terry Green]

[Dano]

Thanks Terry, Merry Christmas Bud.

[Dano]

I got a short string on her, with her permission    There ain't nothin like stringin a recurve for the first time talk about pucker power  :eek:  She's braced to 6" here



I have her at 40# @21" here



Unstrung, you can see has taken about 3/4" of set, which I can live with.

[Jeff Strubberg]

She's gonna be gorgeous, Dano!


The limb on the left leading the way a bit?  Or is that camera angle?

[Dano]

Thanks Jeff, a little angle, but yes I need a little work there.

[Linc]
