Osage billet RD
« on: March 13, 2018, 08:11:49 am »
My buddy Rob, "Trapper rob" gave me these billets in the 2017 supply trade. They were narrow and only allowed me about 1.125" of width. So I made the bow long. Its 68" and pulls 50# @ 28". I did a long build along on the Leatherwall site if anybody wants to see that side of it.

Thanks, those are just hickory slats with a mostly even blend of heart and sap woods. I just flipped them in opposing directions to get the checkerboard deal.
