Southern Kansas Osage bow
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:05:45 pm »
Well, I have'nt posted a bow on here since late last year. I've been doing like many other new bowyers...makin and breakin. I think this one here will hold up. Its from a stave I harvested last year and dried for several months and sped it up a little in the hotbox. I know the tiller is not spot on. I would like to have gotten it bending a little more into the fades but its gonna have to do. It shoos real fast with no hand hock. I am taking it to Gander Mountian tonight to shoot it through their chrono. Heres the details: 58# @ 26.5" 60" t2t 58.5 n2n pyramid style limbs 1-7/16" at fades tapered to between 1/2 and 3/8" at the tips. Zebra wood overlays ( thanks Jeremy " Woodbow"). Tri colored flemish 14strand B50 in black brown and green. I dressed up the termination of the handle wrap with some mojo. Bison hide ( hair on) looks like a scalp and then some Rio grande turkey feathers. I think it looks cool that way. Hope you all like it. Danny

Killer bow, brother. It even looks fast. I don't think I'd mess with the tiller much if at all. Good job ol boy.

Congradulations, Danny. A fine bow indeed. Want I want to see next is a photo of a fine whitetail specimen with that osage instrument of death lying beside it. I'll do my part to do the same.

I was thinking about that Jimmy, what do I do if I don't have a digital camera to take with me in the field. I guess we will deal with that when it happens.

Thanks cowboy. That yeller wood sure is forgiving. I like forgiveness cuz I've needed more than my fair share of it down thru the years.  In more ways than one.  Danny

   Nice looking hunter, Danny. You have to love that Osage. Is that some of the Osage you and Jeremy cut last year? You still have room to whittle some wood off those tips and pick up a little more speed and get rid of some B-50 stretch. I liked the way you got her dressed for the big show, sweet.

Good looking bow. That extra dressing on the handle really looks sharp.
Yep, that Kansas osage is good wood to work with... nice job.
