Man, you are cranking them out lately Katt. What's the length of the stave in the pic? What wood are they both?

Thats a nice straight stave for bodark, with a little natural recurve too? I would probably shorten that stave some, osage doesn't need to be that long. How wide is your stave?

Did you build up the handle on the back of the reflexed one?  I like the looks, kinda like a Turkish Composite bow.

Your def filled up with bow making juice right now katt..lol. got any extra juice to spare  :laugh:

Matt I think your seeing an illusion in the handle from the back rim of that crock pot. Hopefully he puts that to good use to make up some sinew/hide glue soup.

 8) Matt no build up on handle the finished bow should look a lot like the one i just finished only longer. Its going to be 26'' to 28'' draw. And yes that is my sinew pot. Im not sure im going to shorten the long one. Every time i let someone try a bow they try to over draw it so im going to build a bow they cant lol. The stave is 74'' long and 1 1/2'' wide. Sounds like a ELB to me. >:D Will post some pics as i go will be my 1st ELB attempt. :o
