Title: anyone got good dimensions for a west coast/ modoc bow out of Osage??
Post by: dismount on December 14, 2010, 07:14:25 pm

Been a long time since I've posted anything, but I need to build a bow for mental therapy!!! Never tried a Paddle bow. Got some 38'' Osage that might work but I know Osage will not require a wide a pattern as white woodss so any help would be appreciated!!!
  Thanks Dismount

think I'd start 1 1/4 handle 1 3/4 mid limb 1/2 @ tip's below the nock's, and she will be thin. But this is just my opinion, you'll probably get a more experianced opinion,hav'nt handled much osage, good luck, Bub
