Title: My first Osage
Post by: Blacktail on January 04, 2014, 06:37:41 pm

Here is an Oasage Bow, the first one I have ever made. The wood was gifted to me by Keenan Howard. I really really like the wood alot! So if any of you jokers gain too much, please send out some :) 63 in. ntn, 1 1/4 in. handle, 1 3/4 in. at the fade outs, tapers to 1/2 in. nocks. It draws 60 lbs at 25 in. Like I said before, it is really great wood and I think that the people that work the Osage are really blessed to have that type of wood. Thanks John.

sweet bow, brother! You're really cranking them out! And for the record I tried to give you an osage stave when you gave me those yew billets but you wouldn't take it. I guess I have to be more pushy!  ;)

Blasphemy, there's no such thing as a complete collection when you make them yourself :)
