osage elb

[youngbowyer]

Hey guys i thought i'd share this osage bow with you guys. The stave was given to me by gstoneberg(George, thankyou so much for the 2 staves)
I'm into warbows so this one pulls 60 lbs at 28"(im only 13 so that's my warbow weight )

You go youngbowyer, keep up the good work and some day you'll have to change you handle to oldbowyer.   Danny

That's cool man! Wonder how far it will throw an arrow??

[youngbowyer]

I'm wondering to how far this bow will launch a shaft. I currently only have arrows that are spined to 45lbs so im gonna have to shoot with 3/8 war arrows which won't do to bad considering that this bow pulls 65 at 30 inches. Better to shoot overspined than underspined arrows

That, young sir is a fine war-bow. Classic profile and well done.

Good job, I was your age when I started. Its looking very nice. You may want to thin out the tips a little bit, it will look better and also remove unnecessary mass.

[youngbowyer]

Thanks guys.legionnaire you are right about the tips I will add horn mocks tomorrow so that will fix the problem

[Pat B]

Very well done! You handled the character in the bottom limb very well too. Looks like a BOM contender to me! 

[youngbowyer]

Thanks patt! I think I should get the top limb bending more. I will post more pictures tomorrow

[gstoneberg]

Very nice job, that wasn't an easy a stave to work.  Lately I've been struggling a little to pull 60lbs, looks like you're headed towards much higher draw weights.  Congratulations, you did well.  Let us know how it shoots.  Good luck with the other stave.

[youngbowyer]

Thanks George. It will probably be a while before I start on that other stave. Gotta make some new arrows and then I will just enjoy this bow and perhaps start on that other stave in a month or so

Good job. A warbow with character. Looks like you have a bright future.

hey there YOUNGBOWYER,

it is nice to see the young people taking up the ENDEAVOUR.  i would like to pick your brain a bit.  what are your other dimensions(length and width and etc.)? i am working on a stave  much like yours but am afraid i will not be able to keep the D-shape standard for the warbow/longbow.  were you able to keep the d-shape profile?  what about a handle wrap, any consideration for your bow?
