BBO 2nd osage

(1/2) > >>

  I'm hoping to build this as a hunting bow. Shooting for 45# @ 27"  I got it roughed out today. 56" end 2 end.  Will be 54" n2n   Right now it's 1 3/8" at the fades. 1/2" at the tips. Boo backing and walnut handle. As I get to work on it I'll post more pics till it is finished. Outcome good or bad, it's gonna happen ;)
 Besides tillering, that knot is the thing that worries me. It's quarter sawn if that makes a diff?

HatchA:
Looks like a nice li'l project :)

I'll be watching this one with interest!!

Is it just my eyes, or does the 'boo still look a little on the green side?  Maybe it's just the rind in the light? ???

  I got to work an hour or so after work last night and got this far. For the life of me I can't rember the length it was pulling. I know it as 55# so I have a good bit to play with to make the 45#. Is this the shape I need it to end up?

hillbilly61:
 I think I'm done tillering. The 1st is at 7" brace and the 2nd is 47@26"  I really need some input on this one. I think the last 4-6" is stiff

NTD:
Looks really good to me!  Can't wait to see the finished pics.
