Just another Osage bow
« on: July 13, 2012, 12:31:29 am »
I made this bow for my father-in-law. He just wanted a plain finish and nothing fancy so that's what he got. 62 1/2" ntn, 57#@28". I put some bend in the tips but no reflex or anything like that. Just a typical piece of hedge from my area.

That's my favorite kind of bow right there...osage and beautifully bending.  Very nice work.

Nice work on that piece of osage Jon, looks like it came out just right. I like it all around. I just finished a similar looking osage only mine came in at 35# by the time I got the tiller evened up, have to find a youngster to give it to.
I really like yours and that 57# draw weight makes it a hunter for sure.

Thanks guys. The look on a person's face when you hand them a bow made specially for them is what motivates me to make the next one.
