Bow I made at Chris's house few weeks back
« on: March 30, 2018, 05:27:53 pm »
Earlier this month Greg Mike and I went to Chris's house for the weekend to make bows. I brought a fairly clean Osage stave with me. nasty knot in the handle and mid limb on the bottom.  I ended up digging out the knot and leaving some extra beef around it. Turned out 66" ntn and 52@26. I copied Chris's Hickory sapwood Heartwood stagger for my tips. And I believe Clint sent the handle material to Chris. It is heavy duty ace bandage like material for farm animals. It's surprisingly soft comfortable and stays together well. Just a simple longbow but shoots real well. Thanks for looking

Sweet looking bow Paul.  How did you like that handle wrap?  I haven't tried it yet.

I was very skeptical but not in the mood to stitch up a leather one. Very comfortable and holds your hand in one place. I have not shot the snot out of it yet so how well it will hold up to be figured out in the future.

I agree, that grip wrap is comfy. I can assume it dampens any vibrations to. Bow looks great man. Tiller is spot on.
