Title: Bamboo Backed Osage 2piece T/D
Post by: wytetale on May 14, 2011, 01:24:08 pm

Just finished up a 2piece T/D Bamboo Backed Osage Longbow, Really happy the way it turned out. The bow is 64" ntn, 45lbs at 28".The limbs have the same reflex/deflex as the one piece I build. The riser is made of Cocobola. The limb core is Jatoba and the belly is Osage. The bow shoots really smooth and quiet

Super nice...I love the subtle reflex, seems to fit this style very well.  Were those sleeves purchased or homemade?

Great looking bow.  I have some boo and osage for my next project.  It will be my second bamboo backed osage bow.  They sure spit and arrow
