osage shorty
« on: September 15, 2014, 01:08:23 pm »
Posting this one so that y'all will know that I am still alive and kicking. ;D  This one is the bumblebee.  54 tip to tip.  44lbs @27".  Some whooptydoos and snakey spots, but it sure shoots good.   It's great to be drawknifing again after three months healing up from the rotator cuff surgery.

And a pic of the tip....  This bow was from a small stave.  I actually had it almost finished in June, but I had to wait to shoot it in.

Thanks so much fellows.  I sure have missed my shop the last few months.  I have another one almost ready to post.  It is a wonky looking recurved character bow that has limbs that are stepped down out of the handle so bad that it wouldn't fit on the tiller tree!  It shoots great though!  It feels great to be chasing rings again.

Nice to see you posting bows again Howard.  Looked like a challenging piece of wood.  Nice looking bow you wrangled out of it.

Nice bow. Looks like it's putting the arras where they belong, and that's the "proof of the pudding".
Congrats on a nice piece of lumber.
