"HOLEY SLIT"
« on: March 11, 2015, 08:39:41 pm »
Heres an osage that's been in the works for awhile that I finally got time to finish up. It came from well seasoned stock I got from Roy that sat outside for years and years and years. About half of it was salvageable,and worth a shot to try. I didn't use any heat on the working limbs and left them el natural,and they have some funky subtle things going on,but nothing to crazy to tiller thru.

It has a 4" long by 1/16" wide slit hole in it(hence the name)  >:D  Its only 59" ntn...47@26"....20.4 ounces mass weight...white oak tip overlays...zebrawood handle accents. It has hunting written all over it with those stats and how hard it shoots for for only 47 pounds. This one could see some woods time for sure  8)

thanks for looking!!!!!  :D

You had to find a way to incorporate that funky stuff in the handle, and the rest is just sweet with those needle tips. Way cool bow Chris.

I think the best part about this bow is how much the recurves are working. Awesome execution sir!

Great looking bow Blackhawk.  Very nice work with the slit and the accents in the deep handle are a nice touch.  I hope I get a chance to see it in person this summer  ;)   You could keep your score card in the slit when you are on the 3D course.

This bow perfectly illustrates the "crack"-like addictive qualities of bowmaking!

Chickenhawk is the classic junkie!  Well played, sir, a brave and noble effort well rewarded with a lovely outcome!

Sexy!

The old man doesn't know what he's missing by giving away any osage that won't make perfect boards. He has a character flaw.... a fear of character.
