Bamboo backed Osage Flatbow....
« on: April 06, 2015, 02:55:16 am »
Here is a bow I have wanted to make for awhile, a Dean Torges style Flatbow.
Spliced osage billets with a full bamboo back and an osage fillet to cover the handle join. (thanks Carson)
55Lb @ 28", 63"NtN. Nice and quick. Slanted osage and buffalo horn tip overlays.

Thanks guy's, hoping to take a Sambar with this bow. Its autumn here now and soon the colder weather and rain will come and the bush will become quiet! It is so dry under foot right now, the Sambar hear you coming a mile away.......

Great work there Mick! Looking forward to seeing that bow next to your Sambar!

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
