Great looking little weapon, Pat, just looks like it would have to shoot good, too.

Hi Pat,
you are a bowmakingmachine, eh?

In future every splinter of osage is going to nice bows, I think. Very good work and tiller on this one!

That is a beautiful bow, Pat. Great tiller. I've seen quite a few bows in front of that building. Jawge

When you think how many would have made a bean pole out of splinter like that.
Nice job, Pat. - Bookmarked, too

great looking little osage bow! i have some staves that i am looking to turn into light bows for kids. could you give me some thickness dimensions back to belly of your limbs at handle/fade/midlimb/tip? i'd love to have a starting place.

thanks!

Stan, The thickness at the fades of this bow is 5/8" but the width is only 3/4" or so. If you are working with board bows 1/2" at the fades will get you started. I very rarely measure thickness. I make the bow the length and width and just remove wood until I get the weight I'm looking for. Pat
