Osage holmguaard takedown

[mikekeswick]

This is an osage holmguaard-ish takedown i've just finished. The billets were really thin ringed with a not too great ratio of early/late wood so I wasn't expecting too much from them but it has kept an inch of reflex and shoots really nicely. 57lbs @ 27 and it's 65 inch ntn. I'll be chronographing it later today.

Thats a quite good work. Do you have a picture of the limbs from behind or front?

sweet bow tiller looks great.

Very pretty, Mike.
I'm also interested in the front/back profile. Your tiller looks like the outer limbs are relatively stiff with most of the bend occurring mid- and inner-limb, like a mollegabet. But the side profile doesn't appear to show a deeper outer limb like the mollie.

I'm just starting to tiller an ash-backed sycamore mollegabet, and interested to see how much of the outer-limb thickness I can remove without losing the stiffness. You seem to have accomplished that with no extra outer limb thickness, with narrow tips too - Nice work!
