Triple laminated ELB - Argentine Osage
« on: January 03, 2008, 10:43:56 am »
This is a 64# @ 28" ELB.  Stands 72" tip to tip when unstrung.

The belly wood is argentine osage, the middle layer is barrel tapered osage that was cured in the sun for a few weeks to give it the darker color.  The backing is Sapwood hickory. Tips are cow Horn nocks.

And of course matching arrows, which have cow horn nocks and medeival tips.  And Hickory Shafts.

I hope you enjoy! :)

Sincerely,

Justin S.

Nice bow, very short for an ELB but you probably get better performance.

How did you drill the horn nocks and shape the tips?  they are nice, I need to do a set and am putting it off.

Cool set! I too have that on the to do list, I'm wondering on the cow horn stuff too - what tools do you shape them with?

Very nice and perfectly tillered. Is there a difference in Argentine osage and regular osage ?

   Nice looking bow,Are those horn and arrow nocks some of Peter Cua's from the Phillipines ?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Very ELB - looks like really professional glue work. Gotcha bookmarked for January Laminant Bow of the Month, too!
