Atta boy Clint!  Show that stave who's boss!

Once the whoopty section was removed that stave really straightened out.  It should be mighty nice for tillering.  Betcha this bow is a performer.

OO's Quote... "I might have went a little to narrow on the grip.  I think it might work out once I get the limbs thinned down some more. "

IMO...I don't think so after seeing a holding that thin handle osage bow you had at the Scottsburg shoot. That one was sweet and I'll bet this one will just like it.

Bill, that grip was 3/4" x 3/4".  It was sinew backed though. 

Parnell, its freezing and there is snow every where.  There is not much else to do but work on bows.  Two space heaters keep my shop a toasty 70 degrees.

I am enjoying this build along Clint.  I like what you are doing with this stave.  Bet it makes a good hunting bow.

Looking good Clint. I think you're good on your handle once everything else catches up to it. That's going to be a good treestand bow when you're done :)

I don't know whats up with the pictures Pappy.  There is one computer at work that doesn't show pictures.  Must be some sort of setting screwed up.

I pulled it of the caul this morning and I was happy with how well it held its shape.  I removed all the clamps and it stayed put.  The one tip straightened right out except for the last inch or so that kind of dips down just a little.




I took the belly down to a single growth ring on the tips and did a gentle flip with dry heat.  That last inch on the tip just doesn't want to straighten out.  I'll try to fix it with an overlay.

I didn't measure it Slimbob.  Just guessing it was somewhere between 1"-2"
