Snakey Osage 2020--####All Finished#########

nice work,,

[Mad Max]

I'm just pretending I know what I am doing and it's not another snakey bow.
The last 3 broke or cracked so I have nothing to loose
Learning how to floor tiller and a long string to me is NTN on the loops has made me get better results.

Here is a sneak peek of the finished bow

Great job on that snakey stave!!

[Mad Max]

Sheep/Ram horn I cut a piece off and boiled it for a while and tied some Reflex in it so I could sand the belly flat


I glued it to the tips and with these files I shaped them.


The arrow rest is on the right so I made it for left/right handed



I spot drilled it and filled it with turquoise on both sides, One side is higher than the other


Top 4" fade

I really like those knocks.  I saw something similar in a PA issue and tried it out with antler on one of my bows last summer.  The effect is great.

[Mad Max]

Thanks

Belly tip










71" NTN 35#@28" Bottom limb is 1" longer
4" fades each side and 4" handle =12"
Not a perfect tiller, left fade is a little stiff

By gully you got it. Well done sir. That one certainly has a lot going on. Very challenging stick. I’m sure you will turn lots of heads with that one.
