My Osage Bow

The website where I posted this bow is down, so I thought I post my Osage here so my friends can see my Osage bow.

not bad however i think i would get it bending above and below the handle some more.
the first 6 inches or so out of each fade looks stiff yet.

Pretty nice...others are giving good advice. Any thoughts of submitting this for March Bow of the Mont?

The left limb apears to be hingeing from the corner of your window to the pvc pipe. You need to get the right inner limb working some more near the fade. Good luck!  :)

This bow was very hard to tiller because the limbs had a lot of character, the limbs were twisted so the tiller may look off.  However, with all the defects, the bow draws great and shoot very well.



Thanks for the suggestions.

It does have a lot of knots in it.  Pretty well done, keep it up.  Justin
