Bows / Fire Hardening
« Last post by Burnsie on November 22, 2025, 01:36:03 pm »
I just watched a video of Clay Hayes making an awesome fire hardened hickory bow.  Got me wondering - as good as Osage is for a bow wood, would there be any added benefit to give it a fire hardening treatment?

Jim, the only photos of the tips are off the back profile, and the tip up against my finger for size comparison.  This stave had some diluted red coloration in it and then heat bending the tips brought out the streaking grain. Only finish applied was 5 coats of Tru oil.

I came back for another look, and this time noticed the quiver. Can I ask you to make another post just about the quiver?

The image of the belly side of the tip looks like edge grain. Is that just streaks in the finish?

Really nice looking bow!  Looks like a smooth shooter.  How long does the string last?

Interesting to see the BOM going again.  Got some other projects going but will look to get back on a bow before long.
