Plain Jane Osage
« on: November 19, 2013, 01:15:48 am »
Having problems posting - think my pics were too large - one last try!

Here is my 2nd attempt with osage.  63"  50# @ 28"   1 1/4" wide to mid-limb tapered to 1/2".  I can just feel the handle giving a little at full draw.  Whitetail tips and a black cord wrap.  Finished with several coats of wipe on poly.  I made it for my cousin who helped me cut the wood at his father in-laws place.  I did tell him I was hunting with it this December and then he could have it!  I really liked working with the osage - I see why it gets so much praise!  Any comment on the tiller would be appreciated - still learning the process.  Thanks!!

Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

I was sitting here asking me where I saw this bow before. Then it dawned on me, TG!

Nice bow!

Very nice bow.  Looks like it should hold up its part of the bargain in the deer woods.   ;)

  Nice job, I like to leave mine a little stiff in the fades also they seem to be a bit quicker. Not a plain Jane at all just a nicely made bow.

Nice!  Plain Osage bows are beauties in their own right, especially tillered as well as this one.
