Second Osage Snaky 62# @ 27''
« on: March 30, 2014, 09:14:55 am »
This is a new Bow I have made for someone, it's Osage Orange and a pretty tricky stave the tips are made of wengee, the arrowrest is made of pearlrayskin, I did a few bindings just for decoration...
The top limb is 1 1/2 inches longer and both limbs have a little propeller twists so the tiller looks a bit of but it's ok in my opinion.
It was a lot of work to get this thing bending , but now i really like it.
It draws 62# at 27'' and it's pretty fast in my opinion..
I hope you like it too :)

Adams that is 8) Would love to see unstrung side profile so I can see how it's moving at full draw. I wouldn't have attempted that one bud, but you got it bending for sure.

That is one crazy stave. At first glance I thought you had a major hinge going on. Nice job 8)

jesse you are right from the sideprofile it looks like a hinge but that is because of the propellertwist when i was tillering this bow i was always looking from both sides to ensure no that there's no hinge. you can see that twist on the right limb in the stung up picture sideprofile.

Awesome work!  Looks like a snappy shooter to me.  Tiller looks dead on to me.
