+1 you may have to throw that one out  and start over bud!

Looks like a start of a take down! Patrick

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Well here is plan B! I am super excited about this one! This is best piece of Osage that I have seen since I was given my first stave! Not sure I want to give this one away! Maybe plan A will work!  >:D Patrick



Plan B on the left, and A on the right.

Tyke, save the good limb. Make a takedown next one you have break. Or splice them togeather. Works well.

Tyke you have one good limb for a take down. Now break one limb on another one and you will have the other one.

Lebhuntfish if that is the best piece you have gotten I might have to send you some. WOW. But most of mine are twisted I cut this year.

Thanks Kelly, the grain is actually super straight on the limb section just a little whoopty-doo in the handle area. There will only be like 2 tiny pin knots in the whole bow. But I have a plan you might be surprised!
But I would take some good stuff if you wanted to send me some!  :laugh: Patrick

Lol Patrick,  if things go our way next month osage will not be on the list of thing you need.  Course it will need to cure a bit so I guess thats not entirely true...

Your right buddy! But I will be able to at least rough out a few of them! Hopefully it will all work out good. Getting new Osage is like opening Christmas presents at your grandparents house. Patrick
