Title: Møllegabet 3000
Post by: simk on April 28, 2021, 03:56:48 pm

Hey Guys

...almost forgot to post about this one...

This stave I traded for a piece of yew. The plan was to do another selfbow in my beloved møllegabet design; the last one I gave away to b2w Martin.
After the fisrt shavings I quickly realised that it was a good trade for me and that I even could go a little shorter on this one. I don't have too much experience with osage but this one really seemed to be a kings-piece. I ended up making an almost-copy of my hornbows.

It really was my greatest pleasure to work on this stave. I almost regret I finished it so quickly. Got a few checks from (un)necessary alignement corrections. Still being very happy with the outcome. Great shooter.

Specs:
60“ ntn
50# @ 28“
8 strands of bcyx
564 gramms

Thanx for watching

hollowing the tips for lightness instead of narrowing?  did they seem to resist twisting better?

tricky stave, nice job. +

Very very nice.  Looks like a gnarly piece of hedge turned into a beauty of a bow.  Too bad you won’t be at the Tennessee Classic.  The “Osage is King” tribe would welcome you with open arms!  Ha.

thanx Guys, I really appreciate it! This piece of wood was a true lovestory. And as a polygamist I deeply hope to run into something similar in the near future  (-S
Willie: these levers are just a little spleen of mine. Off course they help a lot with stability. Executed with care they even can be made quite light. How light? I don't know...  ;)

I love those tips, I guarantee I still those for a future bow

Awesome. Those tips are way cool .
I also love the hollow outer limbs

Hey Guys

I agree.A very nice bow.A real time consumer to make.Osage can become some crazy versions of a bow.

Thats really something! Enjoyed checking this one out for sure. So many noteworthy attributes to this bow, from the sapwood handle, tips spliced into the limb, hollow design, and natural character stave tillered into a beautiful bend.

Thanx Guys, really appreciated  :)
Of course you are right BowEd, osage is mucho tolerant. It's a great companion building a bow, never let's you down. I don't regret a minute I put into this build  ;)

Looks very nice. If it was mine I would make limbs just next to handle to work a little.
