Osage: Best design for hunting?

[BowEd]

Start with your worst stave. Decide in a design, then make a large version of it. Then tale the next worts, anf make a slightly smaller version of your desired design. Continue until you have learned that design perfectly, and make one exactly how you want with your best stave. I have done that. Great learning experience.

I'm assuming smoke knows how to make a nice bow.If not he can post the progress on here if he has questions.

"Tale the next worts" experienced bowyers do it all the time

Ahhh the results of fat fingers, small keys, and hurrying to post while at work before the boss catches me. Promise, i aint drunk.

Sleek, that last post made me laugh!

And if I were doing it, NO "FLIPPED" TIPS.

Because???    I'm fine with it, just curious,.... why not?



But, I second the choice of an uncomplicated, accurate, proven design, and a flatbow is a great choice whether more parallel or pyramid.  The thing about osage is it'll make just about ANY style of bow if you have a good stave.
