Narrow Osage (selfbow challenge bow)
« on: June 29, 2013, 10:21:17 pm »
Well, I finally got it done!

            This one started out as a thin little sliver from Kerryb that I got a year ago. It had cracks going through it but the rings and the coloration were more than this bowyer could walk away from. I had to go narrow because of the piece and I impregnated a ton of CA into the splits. This bow turned out to be one great shooter! I shot the course in Tennessee twice and was murdering foam the second time round. The sinew wrap was probably not necessary but I put it on anyway to wrap a small ring seperation after I filled it with the "fifth force of the universe" :laugh: The bow is 1 1/16" wide at it widest point and tapers to 3/8" nocks. 64" long 51# at 26" bacote tips.  tru oil finish with a Gordon satin finish and paste wax over the whole shabang. enjoy

Nice. Unique osage selfbows are my favorites.
Straight wood may make a better bow, but crooked wood makes a better bowyer

Cool little bow Cody.  Great job on it.  Next year at the Classic could you show me how you get your overlays blended in like that. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I don't like osage.
Probably cause all the osage I have seen looks like a crazy knotted rope, not a piece of wood.
Its a great bow, but it doesn't make me like osage...

Thanks guys.

     @ slinger,  What exactly would make you like osage? Should we all take up a donation to see if we could possibly get you some clean wood? :laugh: ;)
