Title: Osage (Finished Pics added!)
Post by: mspink on February 19, 2012, 11:37:46 pm

Hey everyone, made a new osage D bow. 62" ttt 1 1/2" wide. One tip is naturally recurved, it had around three inches of reflex after drying. 2" was natural. Keeps about 1 1/4" of it after rest. 1" after shooting a bunch. 50 lbs @ 26". It has two knots that I used deer sinew to wrap around for security. Nice character and shoots well. The tips have sapwood left on at the knocks. Only have rough pics now. Finished will be on tomorrow. Thanks for lookiing.

That just may be the nicest primitive bow that I've seen in a long time.

Well done!

Very cool looking bow! Maybe you could take of these sharp edges: it wouldn't lost much of weight but would lost some unuseless mass and make it faster.
