Bamboo Backed Osage

[Orkraider]

That's a nice looking bow.

It makes my inner 3 year old say "Can I have that?"

I remember you . You're the guy who takes great pictures of great bows! This is obviously a super candidate for Laminated Bow of the Month

Lotta work there! Easy on the eyes for sure!

Nice weapon! How thick and how long are the Osagestrips? Seem to be not too long and too thick, because the bammboo is back and bellly.

Thank for all the great complaments guys. The now is 64" ntn. The core is Jatoba. I want sure about cutting through the bamboo to shape the riser either. Made the riser on the larger side to make sure it wouldn't have any flex to to when being drawn , Haven't put but a couple dozen arrows through yet but plan on giving it a good workout this week to see how it holds up.

Can't say anything that's not been said before...  beautiful bow!  Your dad has a gift.  I get the idea about the over-sized riser, allowing for the break in backing.  Fingers crossed it stays sweet

Any chance of a close-up pic of the tips please?
