osage bow
« on: August 05, 2008, 11:10:52 am »
osage isnt that hard to work with stones though it definetly wouldnt be the first wood i grabbed in the woods. 53#  dogbane string with a rothole in the limb. tore a piece of my tshirt off and wrapped the grip with it. i knew those shirts were good for something ;D

Looks like you got the "goodie" out of that stave, Jamie. Nice looking deer killer you have there.     Pat

Looks like it must be one heck of a handle wrap, the whole shirt is missing.  :o Nice work Jamie, how about more pictures.  Justin

Jamie, usually when I see an osage bow in the thread I think oh-boy here's another snake-skin such-n-such. It's to bows what Elton-John is to Rock. No-doubt talented, but not on my Mp3. LOL  You bow is what I like to see. Looks like what once would have been used in the hands of an Indian. Great job.

Nice one Jamie you've got patience using stone for tools. Most settle for making the bow but you make the tools that make the bow as well. :o Well done

Great bow! And I thought I was nuts for using a tshirt as a bow grip. Now I know I'm only sorta insane ;D!
