Osage 5curve with ironwood handle 51#/28″ part II (No. 98)
« on: December 16, 2017, 11:06:52 am »
The stave was knot free, no natural curves no humps no bumps. I thought it is a good idea to add a bit: ironwood handle (don’t no the exact species – but is of course not HHB), ridge on the belly (runs out 4” before tip).

Buffalo horn for tip overlays and black calf leather for the handle.

 

51#/28”

ntn: 57”

bh: 5”

max w: 1⅜”

mass: 452 grams

symmetrical

stiff handle

 

 

08”: 07,0

10”: 12,2 (+ 4,6

12”: 16,8 (+ 4,3)

14”: 20,9 (+ 4,0)

16”: 25,0 (+ 4,0)

18”: 29,1 (+ 4,0)

20”: 33,0 (+ 4,0)

22”: 36,8 (+ 4,0)

24”: 41,0 (+ 4,9)

26”: 44,6 (+ 5,1)

28”: 49,3 (+ 5,2)

What i like about your bows more than anything is the fact that you dont follow the rules that so many think is iron clad.
