"Wind Scar" - Osage Self Bow 45# @ 28"
« on: October 05, 2015, 07:09:04 pm »
The fact that I don't get out and shoot anywhere near as  much as I'd like and getting fatigued by my 55# Osage, I decided to make myself a little 45 pounder for deer season. This was made from a nice, mostly clean piece of Osage that had a neat, little scar along the limb. This was my first attempt at making a bow that has a "hole" through the limb.

I left the area with the scar a tad bit stiff to accommodate it but am still really happy with how the tiller turned out overall. Tips are some leftover cherry wood I had laying around. I heard that cherry was a bit soft, so I soaked these really good with super glue and they seem to be working very well. With the matched arrows I made for her, she really spits an arrow hard but shoots smooth and quiet. Very happy overall. :) Thanks for looking, guys...

Stats -

64" tip to tip
45# @ 28"
Cherry Wood Tip Overlays
Leather Handle w/Strunk Style Lace
Fast Flight String w/ Beaver Fur Silencers
Tru Oil Finish

Great bow! That full draw curve certainly screams fast to me.

Nice job on that bow.  What's the story on that nice Euro mount?  That's a great looking rack.

Is that supposed to be Wind Scar or does Wnd stand for something?

She is a beauty.  I love the hole through the center, and I love how the color of the cherry wood tip overlays contrasts with the osage.  Nice job!
