Just finished another bow. (full draw added)
« on: June 26, 2008, 11:28:41 pm »
It's 59" ntn 50# @27". It's 1-1/4' wide at mid-limb with a slightly narrower handle section.  The tips are about 1/2" wide. Just a simple wrapped handle built up with leather underneath. Nothing fancy, just a simple, smooth shootin bow.

Bow profile then grain.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

I'd have to say osage cuz of the snakey profile. Not many other woods do that.

Wow! :o
That's the bow that I'd like to make: simple, and very nice, I like it very much, Saw Filer.
How much deep is it at the handle area, at mid limb and at the tips?
And I'm sure it's osage, dyed with any kind of aniline or something like that, isn't it?
 ;) Congratulations, you've done a very good work.

im gonna take a WILD stab at it...

seeing that the bow is almost perfectly flat on the back..and the sides are wavy...no pin knots.. that it is a red oak board cut wavy and stained good,and the handle is not deep as the thickness of board,so you built it up.

or i could be TOTALY wrong. lol
