R/D Monster Osage Tree Bow(2014 Classic bow)

[blackhawk]

My good pal Clint(osage outlaw) gifted me this stave at this years classic from the monster tree...this is the second classic in a row he has graciously given me a stave from the monster tree....thanks pal!!!! I left with a couple buddies Thursday after working all day and didn't arrive at twin oaks until about 2 in the morning....clint handed me the stave  and I started cutting away at it like a busy beaver,and clint and I stayed up working on our bows until sun came up the next morning,and then continued to be awake till late late late Friday.....ahhhh the classic...who needs sleep!!! Nuttin like a bowmaking n shooting marathoner        I did have this shooting late one night,but I put it on hold to finish it up until I got back home....it had a funky deflexed handle section that turned out at a different angle and was also severely pie shaped from the split that I needed to eventually build up the handle with several pieces of thin lams to have enough meat on the back side...well...life got super busy lately and I haven't been home much or had much shop time lately to finish much of any of my projects...sorry for the delay!! but here she is finally 

stats are 67" ntn...low 50's@28"....20 ounces mass weight....white oak lams to build the side of the handle...paduak tip overlays....teeny bit of prop twist yet as well

thanks again to clint for the fine primo stave

That turned out awesome.  That handle build up is crazy but looks great.  Nice craftsmanship.  That late night in the bow shop was a blast.  So was our tired and hazy target rounds the next day   

[SLIMBOB]

Very nice. Love the handle!  Always enjoy seeing your bows.

That a beauty man, nice work.

[JW_Halverson]

I am not sure how you accomplished the glue up in that grip job, but it certainly adds character to the whole picture.  Great way to save the bow!  Kudos.
