Bow for a good friend
« on: April 15, 2009, 06:51:56 am »
I finely finished the Osage I have been working on in between all the other things that are going on at the cabin right now. OK enough crying :) It turned out pretty nice.It is 67 inches T-T and 65 inches N-N .1 1/2 at the fads to about mid limb then tapered to a little less than 3/8 at the tips.
It is made from 3 year old Osage billets. The tip overlays are deer horn.It is 52@28.It has about 2 1/2 of reflex after resting and holds about 2 right after it is unstrung. I am giving it to a special friend at the Classic,he don't know yet and has no computer so maybe he won't find out about it. ;) :) He has given me so much over the years and I have never seen him with a snaky bow
so I feel sure he will like it,at least I hope so :).Hope yall do also.Here are some pictures. :)

What a beauty.  Gary is a lucky guy.  I really like the artwork on the handle.  Great job on that snakey bow.

I'm sure Gary will love it! It really is a pleasure to shoot also, very smooth and shoots with authority where you're looking. Gary ought to be a tough oponent on the range with that bow in his hand....and deer be wary! ;)

Ya Tim I got one a few months ago at the LBL hunt we go on every year and he call last week
and said he had a little sinew bow he had done while at a MI. event this winter that would just fit me.I keep him in Turkey feathers but wanted to do more.He is probably one of the most gracious guy I know,especially with his time with new folks. :) Thanks for the complaments guys.I appreciate it. :)

Real fine job Pappy.  And a real fine gesture.

I bet there is a high pucker factor making a bow a fellar like Gary.  You done good, it's looks great.

I gave Gary a stick of Mississippi osage last MoJam, and perhaps at the last Classic as well, thinking like Timo.  Luckily I don't think he knows who I am, so I have no fear of retribution in kind from him like Timo.  LOL.  He works his butt off at these things.  I felt like I was givin' ice to an eskimo, but he was tawkin' about trying to collect bow wood from every state and didn't have any Ms.

Looking forward to seeing Gary and doing some show and tell with everyone.  It's getting closer!

Beautiful Pappy, Love them snaky bows and a nice character hole as well. Tiller looks great and 2.5" of reflex should make that a real fine shooter. I'm sure he's going to love it. Tips look great.
