osage D/R
« on: July 04, 2013, 03:25:27 pm »
Hey guys,
                    I worked on this bow at the classic too, but I didn't bring it past brace because of the humidity. It had a bacote handle that popped  off while tillering so I replaced it with layered cork so it would bend slightly. Turned out pretty good. 50#@26" 56"ntn  1" reflex. thanks for looking

Looks flawless Cody! Rested, braced and full draw are all perfect looking to me and I'd bet its a smooth shooter too.
Nice work on the handle wrap also, what is the fur type on the handle trim?
Great bow!

Ah muskrat, looks good and will likely hold up well in the rain. Again, sweet bow Cody. :)

Sweet curves and handle on that one, Cody! Those limbs look to have the shape of your take-down recurve. You must have used the same caul. ?

Very pretty... Not sure that laced leather with fur trimming doesn't have erotic undertones ::)

Everything is spot on (as always) on this one Cody - very nice ! I really like that grip too - Bob.

Cody that is one sweet bow. I wish you would do a how-to on your tip overlays. I would be tickled if I could get them half that nice.
