Osage flat bow
« on: February 27, 2017, 12:38:09 am »
Nothing super special about this one, thought I'd share it anyway. 2 Marshalls ago Pearlie gave me a 1/4 log of osage (thanks buddy).
I got 3 staves from it and this was the nicest one. I used dry heat to fix a kink and match the bottom limb to the top.
Came in at 44# at 27", it's a very nice shooting bow, I love this design for osage.
Not 100% on the skins (broad banded water snakes?)
Handle is hemp, finish is shellac and tung oil.
Pics were taken at one of my favourite parks near my house. An old mine converted into a park.
Cheers!

That's a beauty, goat. Glad to see you put that nasty ol' yellow wood to work. Make room for more yew in the shop. :)

Great bow Ryan, not used to seeing you post an osage bow, but looks like you got a handle on it.
