Hey, so this is not my first bow i have done about ten. However this was my first Osage bow. It has the lower sapwood left on. I took off the brittle stringy stuff. The stave was so thin that i had to leave it on. The bow was originally a stiff handle bow but it took to much set and it was to short for that. So i hung it and went on about 6 months. After some more bows under the belt i picked it back up. I reduced the handle and heat (camp fire) bent the set out. Wrapped handle in some cheep garden hemp. The hemp is green with chemical die. I like the way it feels, and the color is wearing on me( literally)
The bow is quiet but i won't use it to take deer. I think its to week. That knot is a hole that went all the way through. I think i cut through the ring but i don't know. It is 55" NTN 38#@26" 1.5" whole way until the levers.
