Ozbow

Thanks Lb Rod. Yes Glenn, I did use 1 tapered and 1 parallel in the core. I was think that if I bend the recurves a bit more ,it would give a bit more of response at release. It would not be as fast as a estatic recurve , but would give the bow that extra bite in the first moments after the release....

No , I haven't but it is a good idea .
I wouldn't need to make another riser.
Just two small wedges inverted under the limb butts.
Thanks for that Daryl.
Alex.

Thanks Jeff.
You 're not wrong.
Making bows is a really nice craft.
Alex.

Thanks Jape. How are you doing Greybeard? it's been a some time since my last bowbuilding in february. I put the string in this bow this morning and expend all day tunning it up. By the end of the afternoon was shooting pretty good. Still needs more tune up. It's a nice bow to shoot , confortable an...

Hey Lb Rod.
Yes , I did it myself.

Hey Jeff. The bow is a Bingham desig. I got the plans some time ago but started doing it 3 weeks ago. Typical Bingham's , 2 canadian maple core laminations between black glass. Rose wood wedges. Riser is a mix of bamboo flooring, rose wood and kwila. I have never been on a hunt , shoot only at the c...

Here is my latest adventure:

Nice work I got my plans from bingham as well and am just going to get the material for two bows , one single piece and one take down . By your pictures and your comments , I can already have an idea of how heavy the bow will be (I will be making a 58" take down) . I was thinking of using a com...

Nice bow.
The white glass makes a good contrast with the handle.
Good glue lines as well.
Good on ya!!!

Hey Jeff.
I was wondering if you still have some of those belt buckles for sale .
I would be interested in one.
Send you a message some time ago but you problably didn't notice , with so many replies.
Anyways , I am still interested .
Thanks.
Alex.

Very beautiful bow .
Nice combination of timbers as well.
Especially liked the tip overlays, strong and well made.
That's good workmanship .
Good on ya!!!!

Beautifull work.
The middle purple heart lam makes a nice accent strip.
Like the horn nocks as well, with the extra nock for the stringer. I wonder if would be possible to do it like that on recurves also.
Good on ya!

Hi Darcy.
Alex here from Brisbane .
Received your pm last night.
Have tried to contact you by e-mail with no success.
Perhaps something is wrong with your e-mail address.

Very nice and well shaped handle for a flat bow.
I like the taper on the limbs also.
Good job.

to all members a nice christmas and a very good new year .

Very nice bows.
I am a recurve shooter and I have been making my own bows for about a year now. One piece recurves. I just ordered my take down laminating press kit from Bingham's.
Do you think making take downs is harder than single pieces?
Again , well done , nice bows.

As a recurve shooter I have to say that it is a nice bow you got .
Congrats.

I reckon it is bending pretty good.
Left limb coming just a tad lower , wich looks good for split finger release.
Good job.

Here's a pic of my son Kyle loosing some arrows on the backyard.
He loves his little bow.

that looks really great.
I like the timber and loved the style of the handle. Very nicelly shaped , especially the window.
Good on ya!

Here it is. That's the bow I am shooting now.

Thanks for the good feedback. Starting from the bottom , the little one is my son's bow , 52" and 15# at 22", the next one (with the string) is my latest bow and is 60" 50# at 28", the third going up the pic is 60" 50# at 28" but is good for draws up to 26", the fo...

2007 was my first year making bows. Actually I started in November 2006.
Well, here they are. 6 bows, 4 of them shooting. I am happy with that.

well done graeme.
like that ebony handle.
good looking bow.

thats a nice bow .
good job greybeard.

good job, nice laminations .
Are you going to use any fiberglass lam on this bow?

what a beautiful bow . nice lines and very good workmanship.
good on ya, Graeme!

hey Jeff.
I would like one of them , please.

The bows in the pic are sitting on the off cuts of their handles. The first one is maple core pams in black fiberglass. The other is Tassie blackwood in black and white fiberglass. The last one that is on the finishing stages is maple in black fiber glass covered with veneers of jarra and zebrano . ...

thanks you all for the welcome and positive replies. Have been reading this forum for some time already and have got a lot of inspiration out of it. About the brace height , I was making my own endless loops strings but they were making the bow very noisy so I had to lift the brace height to stop th...
