Holmegaard Osage
« on: May 14, 2013, 11:16:40 pm »
This is a bow I call it my trash pile bow.  Because I was cutting Osage that I didn't think had a bow in them, and found this piece, and decided to take a chance.  The stave was full of twist, knots and lateral twist.  I had decided to make a bow gust did'nt know what type to make.  Thats when 4dog asked me to make him a bow.  He wanted a Holmegaard  I had never built one.  I gave it a shot and this is what came out.  It took lots of steam bending.   I know the tiller isn't perfect its a little stiff out of the bottom fade but there's a knot there.  I would have liked it to be even width in the working limb.  but one side to the stave was skinny. The bow took 1.5 in set but its still fast to me.  The is 63" long and 1 5/8 " wide at widest.  The lever things are 11 ".  It pulls 52 lbs @27"  mesquite tips.  Let me know if ya got any tips. im still new. this is #14

Awesome job on that stave!   8)  As far as the style, did you mean Møllegabet? Holmegård is more of a pyramid bow style.

Nice job on that knotty stave!  If I'd have seen that in the woods, I'd have passed it by.

Good job!

thanks everybody, I liked building it.  jackcrafty, I am not exactly sure what a holmegaard looks like.  i looked at one in TBB, 2 " bows of the world.  Im not sure about pics but the working limb does taper in width, but i didn't have much to work with.

Cool bow, and yep, this would be a Mollegabet rather than a Holemgaard. Chewed up topic I guess, but worth reminding people of.
