Plain Ol' Osage
« on: April 23, 2014, 06:36:00 pm »
Here's one I just finished for a friend I've been promising a bow for years now.  Nothing fancy, but it turned out okay.  It was a nice piece of Osage I've been saving -- very straight except for a little wave midway in the upper limb.

Here are the specs: 66" tip-to-tip, 58# at 28", 1 3/4" at the fades tapering evenly down to about 3/8" at the tips.  I flipped the tips a bit, and added some purpleheart trim for the tips and strike-plate.  The pic is me drawing it 26" with my stubby arms, but he'll draw it to 28".  It shoots very nice, and I'm hoping it will bring my friend over from the dark side (compounds).

That should bring him over. Pretty bow, good looking tiller. I just finished up a plain one, also.

If that doesn't make him ditch the compound, there is no hope for him!

Very nice bow.
