Title: A little bow called "pipe-wrench" pics added
Post by: half eye on September 30, 2014, 09:13:07 pm: Not making bows lately but ya know how that goes. Was gifted a very nice osage stave by a fellow member and before cutiing out some staves I split off a little sliver from the side (believe I will get 4 bows from the stave, 5 if ya count this one.

Nothing fancy, osage 48" 52# @25" and needs to have the tiller slightly tweeked but thout ya might like a peek.

PS call it pipe wrench so I dont forget where it came from, nice folks out there in Long Island

I wish I had half the skill you do. I have been wanting a short bow with practically those exact specs, unfortunately I don't have the skill or the material to make a beauty like that. Someday I'll be able to make one myself!

Tracy, I'm sure it will do the job, DC....Dont want to think about feathers till tomorrow >:D, Blob, I know a fella that's finishing up a "real" deer killin shorty, I think it's maybe his 2-3 bow and it's a work of art man.

Thanks again,
rich

Nice little bow with good draw weight and draw length for it's size, got any pics of the back profile?
