Character Osage Selfbow - 64# at 28"

This osage stick had a little bit of character. Nothing too crazy, just a handful of wiggles and knots and a tiny bit of deflex throughout the inner 2/3 of the top limb. There's nothing out of the ordinary to mention about the build. It went really smoothly and shoots like a dream! Sometimes a piece just wants to become a bow. There's a 61# Hackberry Selfbow next to it in the group photos. Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Nice work and my kind of bow (except I couldn't pull it).

Nice rig. But no where to hang an arra from the stand. When leaves are gone, nocking am arra will gets dicey.
Looks asymmetrical or is it the knotty spot on bottom throwing me off? Elk killah right there.
