My first Osage
« on: January 04, 2014, 06:37:41 pm »
Here is an Oasage Bow, the first one I have ever made. The wood was gifted to me by Keenan Howard. I really really like the wood alot! So if any of you jokers gain too much, please send out some :) 63 in. ntn, 1 1/4 in. handle, 1 3/4 in. at the fade outs, tapers to 1/2 in. nocks. It draws 60 lbs at 25 in. Like I said before, it is really great wood and I think that the people that work the Osage are really blessed to have that type of wood. Thanks John.

Another convert!  Looks like a lot of muscle on that one.  Nice!

That's a fine looking osage bow.  Great job on it.  I like the paint job.

sweet bow, brother! You're really cranking them out! And for the record I tried to give you an osage stave when you gave me those yew billets but you wouldn't take it. I guess I have to be more pushy!  ;)
