Title: Osage short bow
Post by: redhillwoods on May 06, 2018, 06:56:01 pm

This bow came from a branch I cut along the tracks. It had a sharp bend which I placed in the middle to set the handle back a few inches which remained after tillering. The bow swerves in a mild S shape. I added cherry nocks and it tracks right over the handle. #29@24" L-52.
