Narrow Osage (selfbow challenge bow)

[Thesquirrelslinger]

Thanks guys.

     @ slinger,  What exactly would make you like osage? Should we all take up a donation to see if we could possibly get you some clean wood?

Nope. I don't want it... (I don't have the tools to work it, nor a place to put it, nor a knowledge of working osage, nor would my parents let me get another bow-stave)
but thanks If I want some osage, I can probably get some by trades.

Super cool bow, man yet another inspiration

You can't say you don't like Osage without having tried it, but you can hate clean Osage it sooooo boring.

Good work on that one,beautiful!
It got that superb finish that all your work seems to have...wish i was as patient 

[MWirwicki]

Very nice, Cody.  You did that yellow wood well.

[Badly Bent]

Real nice color and character in that piece of sage Cody. I like how you laid it out to get a handle in there between those knots. Rested, braced and drawn profiles look flawless as does the finish as always. Sweet bow all around, thanks for posting that beaut.

Gonna come back on this one.I like it that much.Couple years ago I tillered a wiggly sliver of hedge with the same width only 66" long 58@28" but not having near the charcter on the back as yours.They do fling an arrow good.Seems like thin splits off of staves happen a lot and make terrific bows.Was that the case here or is your bow a sapling?At any rate terrific job on yours and the finish,tip,and handle work is pristine.
