Title: Bamboo backed Osage Flatbow....
Post by: mikaluger (Mick Kay) on April 06, 2015, 02:55:16 am

Here is a bow I have wanted to make for awhile, a Dean Torges style Flatbow.
Spliced osage billets with a full bamboo back and an osage fillet to cover the handle join. (thanks Carson)
55Lb @ 28", 63"NtN. Nice and quick. Slanted osage and buffalo horn tip overlays.

Thanks guy's, hoping to take a Sambar with this bow. Its autumn here now and soon the colder weather and rain will come and the bush will become quiet! It is so dry under foot right now, the Sambar hear you coming a mile away.......
