Title: Knotty Osage Bow Made at Tn. Classic
Post by: Mad Max on May 12, 2015, 07:55:48 pm

Thanks Pat b and everybody that helped

It had a rotten hole in the center of the handle, I filled it with coarse Turquoise and super glue and sanded it smooth

You heat treated wet wood? How did that go for you? Every time I did that with just a little moisture in the wood it checked on the belly and if I ignored it it spread to the back.

Good looking bow. I like the antler tips soaked in peroxide, and being I just bought some for a skull mount, I will try it on my next overlays.
