Osage Holmegård (fulldraw p.2)

I just finished my new osage Holmegård. It's about the height of a stone age man, and draws about 60-70-80#, with a optional drawlenght up to 32" or so. It's madly overbuilt! But this Osage is really great stuff! Awesome colour and great to work with! Full-draws will perhaps come some time in the future.

Looks sleek and deadly to me.

Very sleek looking. How tall were the stone aged folks that used these bows?
What's the length?
Don't you just love osage. It is my favorite. In a few months it will be a nice golden brown. Nice bow. Looking forward to full draw. Pat

I love the nice clean lines of a simple selfbow. All the stuff that can be added is cool, but I love to see the wood working. It leaves no doubt about the power of wood. I sure would like to see more pictures. Justin

Great looking weapon. Looks like you've got a good source of cherry bark there, too

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I'm afraid it's a birch tree
I think it's about 67" ntn.
Don't think I will draw it to 32" yet. I'll keep an eye on it's stringfollow when I do at least. The stave had 1.5" reflex, and is pretty straight now, so I guess it will gain some stringfollow if I draw it the extra 2". But according to Badgers mass formula it shold last beyond 32".

Hill Billy, I thought it was cherry also at first look.
I wouldn't ever draw it more then maybe 1" past your drawlength just for a sense of comfort. No need to place extra set if you don't have to.

Quite the stick bow. How about slapping on a string and cranking it back and share the Full Draw image with us?

From what I can tell from here, that's about the cleanest bodock I've ever seen. Would love to see the thickness/width transition on the outer limb, and the tiller. That's usually the Achilles heal of a homey. Slickern snot for sure.

That's a fine looking weapon. I sure would love to see a braced and full-draw picture.

A fulldraw will appear suddenly, but perhaps not within the first days

Kvillo, just having the weight in the wood won't neccessarily mean you cna draw it 32", the placement of the mass and the tiller are critical. Steve
