Osage selfbow
« on: February 14, 2017, 07:22:08 pm »
Greetings PA. This stave was cut in Jan 2015, I acquired it in a trade with Aaron (Falcon). Thanks A a ron.  Did not do anything other than flipped the tips and fill the knothole with sawdust and TB3 and darkened it. Came in at 55@28" and is 65" long and shoots smoothly.  Osage tip overlays and finished with Danish oil wax. Thanks for looking!

Two in one day, and they say I am as busy as a beaver  ;D This one is just as sweet as your first. Both my kids just saw this one and love it as much as me. Way to go!

Pretty piece of osage and a heck of a nice bow you crafted from it, well done.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
