Snakey Osage D bow
« on: May 23, 2008, 12:12:38 pm »
here is my first Bow this year. I had to take the last 5 months off due to a Rotator Cuff injury:



Osage Orange 67" N to N
56#@28"
Linen String
Linen Grip
No finish but will get bees wax and linseed oil as soon as it gets a bit warmer.

Unstrung Profile:


Grain:








Braced:





Grip:


Full Draw:


Thanks for looking,

Good to be back

Great looking and skillfully made bow. Take care of that rotator, though. Your bow is #27 Self Bow for May.
