new osage bow- first osage since Montana
« on: January 27, 2010, 11:53:21 am »
Here is the first osage bow i have done since i moved to montana. Been spending so much time hunting and having fun i havent got to make many really nice bows, just a few cookie cutters to pay some bills. But this one i just finished up last night. its 62" long  and 55# @ 27".  The shape is 100% natural i didnt adjust the shape at all, the natural R\D shape was perfectly in place so why monkey with it?  I sanded the crap out of this bow to get it really smooth, fit it with a chocolate colored deer hide grip and strike-plate  and tips of Ipe which match the grip perfectly. dacron string with bobcat fur silencers. its a pleasure to shoot and certainly has enough throw to stick a deer, but i dont really for-see me shooting it a whole lot, with elk at hand next year i will probably go 65# or better on another bow, But  I am still very happy with this one either way.- Ryan

I was wondering where you'd been Twistedlimbs.  I'm glad to see you're still here. 
It's always good to see the bows you make - that one looks really nice.  I've always liked how you stitch in the shelf with the wrap.
Hope things are going well for you.  Nice job!
