Title: Plain Jane Osage
Post by: mwosborn on November 19, 2013, 01:15:48 am: Having problems posting - think my pics were too large - one last try!

Here is my 2nd attempt with osage. 63" 50# @ 28" 1 1/4" wide to mid-limb tapered to 1/2". I can just feel the handle giving a little at full draw. Whitetail tips and a black cord wrap. Finished with several coats of wipe on poly. I made it for my cousin who helped me cut the wood at his father in-laws place. I did tell him I was hunting with it this December and then he could have it! I really liked working with the osage - I see why it gets so much praise! Any comment on the tiller would be appreciated - still learning the process. Thanks!!
