Plain Jane
« on: November 15, 2014, 03:23:19 pm »
An Eastern Woodland bow made of Osage.  55#@28".  Side knocks with horn overlays and a pink and orange fast flight string.  Beaver balls for string silencers.  I have her braced at 6.5" and the bow is 64.5" between knocks.

Cheers.

P.s.  This stave came from OO.

Nice bow, Steve and a nice bend too. Is that the first bow out of your new shop?

Very Nice! 
Side nocks have become my favorites.....easy to make and I like how you can control the string tracking by which side you put them on (specially on the wiggly stuff). On opposite sides for straight down the middle and both on one side to steer the string to that side or the other.

I like Plain Jane! Do you use a string keeper to keep the string on?

Very nice.  Seems to be signs of heat-treating there.
