Red osage bow
« on: January 13, 2016, 05:31:35 pm »
I recently finished this bow up for somebody.  Its from some dense red osage that I cut a few years ago.  The grain lines really show up in it.  The back is mostly concave and has some slight humps and bumps down the entire length.  There is a small knot hole in it.  This bow seemed to fight me all the way through the build.  It's 66" long and 50@28".  It is finished with 6 coats of tung oil.  The tip overlays are bighorn sheep.

Nice job there, SpongeBob Shortpants! 

Pretty overlays on the tips and a wicked profile, oughta have the performance that the appearance promises.  Good stuff, as usual!

Very nice! Beautiful all around.

I guess that last osage I built was red and I really didn't realize it. I do now compared to the current one I'm building.

That is a great looking bow.  You made that wood proud.  I like the peep site too!
