Title: Osage "Franz"
Post by: beaverbow on December 13, 2010, 04:34:54 am
here is my osage bow (61,4" & 42#@28"). called "Franz", because the Wood is from Hungary-Austria (Franz Joseph I of Austria)

The bow looks excellent I really like it. That photography is top notch I would love to be able to take photos like that. Bows are not the easiest thing to photograph.  What is the surface the bow is laying on?

Beautiful bow!!!!
Great job on those nice bends on the ends,...

Title: Re: Osage "Franz"
Post by: 1776J on December 14, 2010, 02:15:20 am
May I ask,...
What are the dimensions at widest point of the bow and he smallest point of it as well?
How long are your bent areas at the ends? (From where the recurve bend starts to the end of the tips?)

Again,... wonderful job!!

Gets my vote for bow of the month guys!!!

Was this bow on FC before, or where have I seen it? I remember the glas table shots.
