My long weekend project
« on: December 02, 2013, 05:19:33 pm »
A few sneak peaks of my extended weekend happenings. All osage. The bow is 9-10 month old wood and the overlays and grip is 25-30 year old osage.




Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Now, you did well with that add on, PD. Note how it sits on the handle where the handle has already begun to enter the flares. Those who like board bows with added handles should check that out. Yes, I know you are using osage. Jawge

That's pretty sharp looking.  I wonder how long will it take for the bow to darken and match up with the handle.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

That shows that older osage darkens throughout, a very controversial topic  :laugh:
