Osage Flatbow.
« on: January 08, 2011, 04:28:23 pm »
                       This is a bow I made a year ago.The stave had 8 growth rings per inch.After I shaped the bow out I put on a caul and put 3 inches of reflex on it,after it was tillered out and finished and shot numerous times it lost the reflex but has no string set.The bow is 66 inches tip tp tip,a inch and a half wide and narrows down to a half inch at the tips.The bow is 55#@26 inches.It is a fast shooter.

An excellent looking bow.  With that additional length, I'd bet that bow could last a VERY long time!  Nice one SY!

Very nice bow. That tiller looks awesome. Great handle work as well, I bet it has a sweet smooth draw with that length. Congratulations.

That bow is the perfect illustration of a plain jane clasic flatbow.  When the stave is that plain, there is no way to hide imperfections in tiller, design, or execution....ya get it right or you hide it!  Any flaw would stand out like Andre the Giant in a lime green tutu. 

Sweet work, well done.
