At Marshall this past spring Mr. Chicago kid aka paulsemp gifted me a Osage stave then asked me if I'd do a swap with him (which sent me to panic mode since I've never done one and only made 4 bows so far)
I decided to make my first short bendy handle bow with the stave, at Elm hall Paul offered some guidance as I was working on the bow and I got the idea that it would be a cool bow for him since he gave me the osage, some help, and it fit his specs.
So I finished it up and sent it off....I know Paul is super busy so I thought I'd post it.
53" 45@26, cow horn tips, two tone rit dye job with alcohol drip, cork handle build up, leather grip, some muskrat belly fur silencers, and a ultra cam 8 strand string.
Named it "no excuses" cause if you've ever shot with Paul you'll hear that!
Hope ya like it Paul! I had a tough time sending down to the land of pavement, traffic and deep dish pizza! Now I must build me one, that I can draw to 29"
Some pics of number 5....
Hopefully he can add some better pics...I just snapped a few quick ones.
