First Osage character bow build along
huntersim:
Just read the whole thread. One of the best I've read in a while too. Nice job Sean. ;D
Cant wait to see the finished bow.
1/2primitive:
Well, the final coat of finish is dry. I'll work some more on it today if possible, most likely finishing it up.

All right, the arrow rest is drying and we are going to church tonight, so I'll post it all finished up tomorrow.

I finally finished it, sorry it has taken so long! This stave was given to me by Mickey Lotz at last years Mojam, Thanks again Mickey! The bow came out at 43lb.@23", 61"ntn. The extra length keeps string angle low, making the draw nice and smooth. The tips are the narrowest I've made to date, being just barely over 1/4". It's a very fast bow and I'm really happy with it. I didn't want cover up the handle because of the nice colors in it, so I left the handle wrap off. The bow is about 1 1/4" wide for most of the limb (although with all the knots, it's not very uniform). I counted 8 knots in all. I will be shooting this bow a lot. It started out with 1/2 reflex and set is at about 1/4-1/2" after bracing and shooting.

P.S. Yes those are Osage trees in the backround of the pictures.
