Sister billets Osage bow
« on: July 31, 2011, 06:26:20 pm »
I actually started this project last Summer.  I started with sister billets 39" long with 2 knots on the edge of both, hence the grain took a couple of turns and dips.  Another challenging project to test my patience and tillering skill or lack of..... Came out okay though. Final stats. 67" ntn. 60#@28 . 4 1/4" handle, stiff 8" fades due to knot in one limb. Limbs are 1 3/8" for 2/3 of limb, then tapering to 3/8" at the nocks. 1 1/4" string follow. Snappy shooter! So, here she is. Comments and criticisms always welcome!

Really nice, just enough character so it's still a practical bow but real cool looking too.
