Osage sapling
« on: March 22, 2014, 09:59:46 pm »
This bow shoots like a beast! It's so snappy I love it. It's 52" ntn and 1 1/2" at the widest.  Feels like it's 50# @26" This is my first attempt at a strunk style handle wrap, it's not bad for my first try.

That's one of my favorite style bows. 2" to 3" osage pole. You really got all the bend out of that stick. Well done.   8)

Nice stick- o- sage bow with a cool primitive look. like the cleaned out pith area still showing on the belly too. Great looking bend as well Bowman.

I thought it had a cool primitive look as well, that's why I left those sap wood pools. Lots of different colors and shades in it.
