Barn find swampwood. (Bamboo backed osage)

Neighbor Bob and I were taking stock of of wood stocks for handles and such.  He pulled out several chuncks of "swamp wood".  I asked for clarification and he said it was just bowdark or something.  Bwah ha ha!!!  It was the gold rarely found in the PNW.  We cut some bits and gave a first run at it.

The result was a 64 inch ntn reflex/deflex.  68 pounds at 27 inches.  Bamboo got a Sunburst stain pattern.  Desert iron wood, osage and buffalo tips.  Shoots smoothly.  It has become my daily driver and elk stick.

Thanks for looking and happy bird day!

Nice find!  Good looking bow!  Hope the "meat shots" were the first in your group (SH) :-D.  Otherwise, good shooting.  I got to find my group tightener though :fp (lol)
