Playing with Osage alittle
« on: August 08, 2013, 10:02:26 pm »
Took this little split off to play around with it the tiny little bow is 34 inchs long being drawn to 22 inchs again this is not a serious bow just playing around I'm guessing 40# at 22 inchs but don't see a reason to weight it really





Here in a little while I'm gonna draw it Til it breaks And get a pic

Osage is one awesome wood but be careful!!  A pic with wood sticking in your neck may not be good for your health

Well so instead of breaking under tension it just delaminated... Hmm

Is that the neutral plain in there?   :D
 You got a good bend from that piece of osage. With a little sinew and upturned tips it could have been a killer bow.

What does the early growth rings look like? Thick or thin? How is the ratio between early and late rings?  Inquireing minds want to know!  ;)

Couldn't ask for better rings.
