I recently finished this osage bow, which will be one of my front runner hunting sticks this fall. The stave had a wicked left-right, rotation wiggle, but overall took surprisingly little effort to bring in line. It's well boned at 60" and full of muscle with 63# @ 25". The tip overlays are figured maple. I've got a thing for red bows, especially hunting bows, which some leather dye satisfied. After a few coats of finish, I broke out a pencil and paint pens for added mojo. Since the constellation Orion is my annual hunting partner on pre-dawn Autumn mornings, and the dots reminded me of such, so it was dubbed. I'll have to wait until October to see what excitement it brings.
