Osage self bow...(full draw added)
« on: November 16, 2007, 07:19:43 pm »
Here's an osage self bow i just finished up I named 'October' for the month I made it in. I knew from the start that it would prove to be a very special piece of wood. It has good rings, it doesn't have a single knot!, and held on to its original reflex like a champ. 63" ntn, an inch and a quarter wide at the fades and pulls 60#s at 28". I put on wenge overlays, backed it with Brazos River snake skins, and added a tortoise shell strike plate inlay, which is a first for me. I really like it. 'November', this bow's sister split, is coming along a nicely and also managed to grow knot free. Thats to come...

Dan

Man! You make some beautiful bows!  :o   Osage is really pretty, and not having any knots is very rare. Still waiting for full draw...... ;)

That is a real beauty Dan! You do real nice work, always a treat to look at your bows. I have started to use your spiral type of grips on my bows and love it, really keeps your hand in the right spot. I am a really big fan of using the turtle scale for a plate because it is so darn thin and looks cool to. Nice job on that bow and can't wait to see "November".
