Title: Simple Osage
Post by: TimothyR on June 18, 2016, 09:47:40 am

Ok guy's here's #4. It's Osage 66" t2t. About 1 1/2" wide at the fades. 58#@28". And it tool about 1 1/2" set on both limbs. I built the handle up with cork because it was a little uncomfortable for my hands. The back had some violations so I backed it with rawhide. It was a bit challenging for me because one limb went up out of the fade and the other went down slightly. I put zebrawood on the tips and the arrow rest is cork. Handle wrap is elk hide. I'd like to give a shout out to Hunterbob for the second set of eyes,  he helped me quite a bit. So thank you Bob.  Any input is greatly appreciated. Hope y'all like it. Thanks Tim.

That limb came around pretty nice Tim. The braced picture looks alot better now. You have been a bow building machine lately.  Good job on this one also.

looks good, I wouldn't worry bout the set, we all like to have no set but sometimes a little set happens, and the bow can still shoot great,, congrats
