Self bow racks
« on: April 09, 2020, 10:37:26 am »
Last winter I found a dead snakey grained osage tree while clearing a new trail.  I brought it home and let it dry for a year.  I cut it in half longways and cleaned up the backs.  I made osage dowels and sealed them with Shellac.  I left one rack the full length but I cut the other one in half to fit on each side of the window.  I keep my FG bows on the full length rack and the selfbows on the 2 short racks.  I have them in my archery room.  I have plans of making osage furniture to match the bow racks. 










Here is the full length rack

Very nice!  Those would make very good trade items, or craft sale stuff!

Those look great, nice bows too! I've got a few more projects in mind for some of that osage you sent me a while back, and a couple more pictures of stuff I did with it recently that I'll have to send your way.
