Hickory backed Osage

[Marc St Louis]

This a bow that I made to replace Mike Huston's Rosewood bow that broke.  It's a Hickory backed Osage and the Oasge is some I recently got that comes from Southern Ontario and has been seasoned for about 12 years.  It's not the best Osage I have worked but it's good none the less.  The bow is 58" N to N with 1 1/8" wide limbs tapering to 3/8" nocks.  It pulls about 60# @ 28".  Here's a couple pics

very nice Mark. looks like a very low string angle on such a short bow. sorry to hear the other one broke, but that just goes to show that anybody can brake em. like they said, makes me feel beter

Very nice bow. With those two woods it should stand up to anything.

Looks like an awesome little rocket launcher Mark. You are getting those 58" R/D bows dialed in and perfected. Nice tiller and great looking profile. Can we see some close up of those tips

Great combo and serious contender for October Laminate BOM.

   Great looking bow Mark, I was going to glue up a hickory backed osage this morning, you have me thinking about cutting it down a bit. That bow of your looks great at full draw.  Steve
