57" Character Osage
« on: October 28, 2012, 02:20:33 pm »
Heres one I just finished up this morn with a hemp handle wrap. 57" osage selfbow,60's@27",16.9 ounces,slight bend in the handle. My good friend Marty Tarrant(old timber bows) gave me a 3" wide stave last year some time that i split into two and ill get two bows out of(second one will be done who knows when). I kept this one pure and simple,no knock overlays and just simple pin nocks,and no fancy adorenment with a simple handle. My 11 month year old baby girl just had to be in the pics,and i had to take pics inside as its been raining non stop here since fri eve and frankenstorm hasnt even hit yet and is gonna rain all week. and i hate waiting to show a bow off even tho id rather take better pics of this beuaty to show her off better,cus its hard taking good indoor pics due to poor lighting(sorry)















thanks for looking

Very cool. Love the way grain swirls around a knot like water around a rock in a stream. Great tiller!

I dont know how you saw a bow in that peice of wood, but you managed to make one out of it. Great job.

Did you use a nail knot for the handle wrapping?

I love it. 

I handed Blackhawk a piece of wood to throw on the fire at the Classic this year and the next thing I know he was flinging arrows from it.  He's an animal.
