I have decided that I'm going to give a shot at making my own recurve bow. I'm not sure where I'll find the time to do it seeing as it is a tedious process and Lord knows my schedule is already pretty full. But I have enough Osage orange trees to probably make a thousand of them so I figure why not give it a whirl. And if I get good enough, who knows, I might be able to make a little extra money on the side. I recently picked up and old draw knife at an auction which seems to be the most important and widely used tool in making your own bow. Plus, could there be a more fulfilling feeling than making your own bow from a tree on your land and then using it to harvest a deer? Maybe if I had kids then that would be it...but for now, I think I'll stick with hunting!
