Haha, looks like it wasnt challenging that much.

Beautiful bow!
Where did you get the Osage from? Cause im from Bavaria too.... ;D

I get my sage from the pile in my garage ...


Amazing. I wasnt expecting a static to be pulled out of that stave. Wow.  Interesting  how you leave an extra ring as a natural overlay.  Huisme used to favour the extra ring overlay.

Did that often as nock overlay and as handle overlay(f.e. filing in finger grooves)

Thanks for your kind comments guys!

That is just amazing work on a beautiful bow!  The leather grip is super funky. 

Do you use a gouge to tiller inside the limb, or something like sandpaper wrapped around a dowel?

I would have named it "The Ugly Stick".  ;D

It really is an impressive piece of work.

Incredible work pulling that bow out of a stick I would have burned without a second thought.
