Title: The Ferrets build-a-long
Post by: osage outlaw on January 04, 2012, 11:25:41 pm

I just found a website that has the Ferrets osage bow build-a-long on it that includes all the pictures.  I thought it wasn't around anymore.  This is what I used to make my first bow.  I'm not sure if I can post the link or not.  If a Mod can let me know if its OK, I will post it.  Or I can share it by PM.

That's it.  Thanks for posting it.  I didn't think it was around anymore.  That brought back some memories.  I printed it off and read it a hundred times while building my first bow.

Wow I didn't know this info was around anymore either. I thought it was lost when my site was shut down. Thanks for posting osage outlaw, I bookmarked it.  I believe one time it was posted under building osage bows 101 over on Tradgang, but since I haven't been on there in a couple of years I cant verify that. Its nice to know the info is still helping people build dependable wooden bows.

Thanks for creating it Mickey.  Are you going to make it to the Classic again this year?

Hope to, my visit was cut short last year by some really crappy weather. I am requesting drier weather this time. ;)

Thank you! I used your site as well when I first started making bows. Really liked the rose shaft arrow tutorial also. Dry weather at the Classic? I've not seen it :D

I'm glad to know this piece of archery history is still around. I'll copy and paste the link to the "How to" section.
 Hey Mickie, hope to see you again at the Classic.

I haven't seen the rose shaft arrow tutorial.  Does anyone have a link to that?
