Title: Osage flatbow with croc grip 49#/26” (No. 127)
Post by: simson on August 15, 2021, 06:11:01 am

This is a simple flattie with nice even reflexed limbs, but has lot of character. In the upper limb are two little holes. She got a self nocks for a rustic look, the upper is a side nock. I renounced on building up the handle portion, here are three pieces of croc leather mounted with almost invisible joint. The stick was in the fuming pipe for a week and so it looks like years old.
I like this simple and effective design.



dw/dl:   49#/26”
ntn:    56”
bh:    5¼”
max. w.:   1⅜“ and1 ⅝” at the first hole


reflexn:   2½”

mass:   431 gram

symmetrical
bendy handle
species: maclura pomifera




08”:   09,3
10”:   14,9   (+5,6)
12”:   19,7   (+4,8)
14”:   23,6   (+4,9)
16”:   27,7   (+4,1)
18”:   31,5   (+3,8)
20”:   35,4   (+3,9)
22”:   39,5   (+4,1)
24”:   44,0   (+4,5)
26”:   48,8   (+4,8)

Beautiful bow!  Love the aged look that the fuming gave it and that handle wrap is awesome.
