Happy Birthday Herr Simon!

Nice bow as well. You got out of it all it had to give.

If this bow breaks, I'll build another. If it doesn't............. I'll still build another.

Tiller looks perfect to my eyes. Great work.  I like the two tone color as well.  When you say "fuming pipe" are you talking smoke or steam?

Thanks,

Happy Birthday!  That certainly looks to possess all the characteristics of a ideal osage hunting bow.

Did you post a similar osage bow a couple of years ago? One with very similar front profile and specs, but with deflex out of the handle rather than the gull-wing?  That was one of my favorites. Looked for it the other day, but couldn't seem to find the post.

Looks like this one s bending through those curves perfectly!

Love the two-tone color.  Can you describe the "fuming pipe"?  Or is that a secret....

-Jeremy

No secrets here ... I have none.
The fuming pipe is just a pvc pipe, 2m long, one end closed with a plastic bag and rubber band. The pipe stands on a pod filled with ammonia - the damp is the fume. a description of the process is here:

I feel honored you remeber that bow, Carson! The other was a bit longer and much heavier drawweight. I assume you have this bow in mind: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,36225.msg476616.html#msg476616

I like this design very much and will test out a few variations:
- shorter with boo backing
- shorter and wider
- shorter, wider and semi bend handle

here is another I'm working on for a friend:

Couldn't forget that bow! That is one mean beast. I would like to try to make something similar someday. Looks like that other bow was only 1" longer, but 80#s!! :o

Simon, that's a fine birthday present you bestowed upon yourself.  Enjoy!  Yeah, I really like the two tone too and the light overlays.  Are they bone?  Great looking, graceful bow.
