Beadman, I just realized your right no picture of the bow unstrung..how dare me forget that
I will post one tomorrow.
As for the "Osage Turk" it was a bow that Reginald Laubin made form Osage and sinew backed it and painted it in the fashion of the Turkish style bows. The bow is pictured in his book and has always been a favorite of mine. I designed mine with less reflex, I think he cut his bow in half at the handle and put some set back in it that way, Im not very keen on cutting a perfectly good bow in half to induce reflex.
Thats something he often did which is a little confusing to me as an experienced bowyer knows how to put reflex in a bow without sawing it in half.
