Woodland Osage

[wildman]

First stick in a few months. I have had this stave since last year had a touch of natural recurve to it so last week I got to whittiling! It is 66'' rectangular cross section came in at 53# @28" and shoots like a dream. The tiller may be a tad off,but after putting about a 100 bullets down range I can live with it. She bends slightly in the handle,which is hemp wrapped. The skins are from Cip. via Tx As I said not perfect,but a shooter. She will go to Tenn. next month.

I wish I could see the FD pic better.   I'm working on an osage Eastern Woodland also and it's goin to the Classic too.

looks good. I like that style of bow myself, just a simple design but will get the job done if well made like this one appears to be.

Pat sorry for bad lighting on the FD may try another if it quits pouring. 4Dog on the skins I really dont know I traded Cip. for them some critter he has crawling around in Texas. Thanks to everyone on the post.

Here is a better FD pic upper limb has a nice knot throws tiller look off a bit.

The upper limb looks a little wonky but if it shoots well and doesn't have much shock shoot it.

Keith, looks like the local deer ought to be worried, that'll hunt right there. Is there anything that you DON'T do?

[Wiley]

I like it. I'm going to try and coax a woodland dogwood out of a twisted dogwood stave, it's going to be a learning experience one way or the other.

I like that style of bow.  All things considered, that simple stick will do anything that the fancier designs will do, and maybe do it just a little better than most.  Cool looking skins.
