this here is the bow that started my latest post about lunar growth rings in osage orange which seemed to spark some interest so id thought id finish up the bow and post it.
its was split from a tree of the shore of the east coast were i have gotten all of my osage
its 60 #@28" with deer antler stringer knocks
shoots really quiet but because of the large hole and knot in the lower limb it nearly shakes my arm off when i shoot it so it wont see too much action time
help she needs a name !
-
The last picture is the "moon rings" that i started a topic about a few days ago that seemed to be a big deal
Still need a name?
-
Don't know about a name but the knot at the end shouldn't really add any hand shock that has been my experience anyways
-
the problem is the grain around the end was funny so i left alot of wood around the tips and just did a stiff tip tiller i don't see what else could cause as much hand shock as this bow has
-
first off V nice bow, but it looks to me like you could've just avoided the knot altogether, and gotten away with a skinnier tip. No one can tell from just pics though, good job with it altogether.
-
you can fllow the grain and remove it, you have plenty of space

Awesome bow. I'd call her "moon shake " ;D
-
Hey yea thanks guys I put the know in there on purpose thing it would look cool cuz I don't have many character bows but I guess if I want it to shoot good I'll just have to take out the old post hole
:'( :'( I'm gonna miss it but maybe it will allow me to put a hole in a big buck >:D
-
Nice bow man, looks like midlimb and out could bend a little more and is probably contributing to the handshock. Did it take much set out of the fades?
-
the trade bow I sent out had a almost identical limb and it is smooth, address the areas wizardgoat mentioned , I doubt you will lose much weight but it will make it shoot smoother(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/my%20horn%20bow/trade%202014/101_4508_zps5918b7e7.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/my%20horn%20bow/trade%202014/101_4508_zps5918b7e7.jpg.html)

it only ended taking about one inch of set pretty much the mid limb of the bow, if you look at how the bow took set it looks like its bending too much in the mid limbs
most of the tillering problems i had were because the stave was not very straight and there was about 3" of re curve in just the handle area
Thanks for the advise guys ill work on it if i get the chance, i already have a bow for hunting season this year so it will just be a wall hanger i guess :D

East coast + likes to shake = snooki

Nice "lunar" work. I guess handshock is caused by the extra width at the hole of the upper limb. Midlimbs should bend a bit more.
The granddaughter of my neighbour is called "LUNA"?

+1, could take out the hole and sell it on E-bay ::) or ship it to me, I could do with a hole that size, the Osage I'm working on has a pathetic little hole about 1/8" :-[

I live in Southern Cheyenne country on the plains of Oklahoma. This is the web site for the Cheyenne lexicon. It's actually taught at our local university.
Good luck!

I am with the others,But have never really had a hole cause any shock, The bottom where the know is looks to be tillered prefect,the top looks like it ciuld use a few scraps in the outer 1/3,that may be part of the hand shock problem,I doubt it's the knot hole,. Beautiful bow,love the nocks,but if I can't shoot one because of a problem it really don't matter how pretty it is, I would stay at it till it was right. Sounds like you have plenty of weight to get it like you want it and still kill a deer. ;) :) :) JMO. :) :) Not sure on a name,I know we have had a lot of fun with the Lunar ring thing this weekend. ;) :) :)

Nice looking bow. Give her time, she'll tell you what she wants to be called. All of my named bows have told me what to call them.
