Title: my new Osage
Post by: Hans H on February 12, 2018, 02:49:05 pm

hello Folks,
I`ll show you my newest bow:
Osage, TtT 62", NtN 61,5", total weight 490 grams, width on fadeout 40mm, on tips 8mm
draw weight 45#@28",  bh 5-1/2"
2 days ago I shoot her with around 100 arrows, seems good balanced. finished actual with 5 layers "danish oil"
tip overlays and arrowpass are from buffolo (o.k., when Isaw the pics I polished them with steelwool a bit more)

hope you like it

sorry for the miserable pics, but we have really bad weather this days...and I would post....so we made inside

hello gentlemen,
I really appreciate your comments, Thanks again

@Steve, I tried your "no set tillering method" and think it looks not so bad

Love that bow. Like the yellow but it’ll be awesome when the Osage oxidizes and turns dark as well.  Nice one.

Second Mullet, do you have osage growing in your neck of the woods?

Title: Re: my new Osage

A really nice bow. Tiller looks very good.

I think in Croatia and Italy you can get Osage also.
