Monster Osage eastern woodland

[Josh B]

Obviously not a monster bow, but it is from Osage Outlaw's monster Osage tree.  I've been wanting a stave from that tree since Clint first posted it.  Now that I have some of it, I couldn't be happier!   The bow is 54" ntn 40#@26".  It's roughly 15/16" wide through the center half of the bow tapering to 1/2" wide tips.  My usual diamond shaped tips that i put on eastern woodlands.  I roughed this one in Friday morning at the classic and tillered it around 2 or 3 am Saturday morning.  It really shot well Saturday.  (Wish I could say the same about myself )  Sunday morning Iowabow got out the chrono and it was shooting my 535 gr arrows at an average of 158 fps.  I was happy with that.   I carved my bowyers Mark for the strike plate so I would have an index mark for hand placement.  Thanks for looking!  Josh

You sure didn't waste any time making a sweet little bow out of that stave.  I like the nocks.  I wish I could get mine that even.

Nicely done Josh, that arrow speed shows some zip for a 40#er, especially with that weight of an arrow.

[Trapper Rob]

You sure do know how to build them Josh.

[IdahoMatt]

Great job Josh.  Very impressive indeed.

[Gsulfridge]

Man, I like that.  Really starting to favor those bendy bows.  Good job Doc.

Bows like this are easy.  First you have to score a really great stave off a really great guy, Monster Osage from Osage Outlaw filled that requirement.

Then you have to go to one of the greatest places on earth, a place where the mojo is so thick you can eat it out of the air as you walk around.  Fill that place with great people that are full of encouragement and good cheer.  The Tennessee Classic fits that description, right?

Then you have to take all the passion for this craft and all that you have learned from others as well as your own failures and victories....and pour it into that piece of wood. 

Simple!  Even a Kennebago herder can do it!

Sweet bow Josh.  I dig the nocks
