61 1/2" osage splinter

(1/9) > >>

Pat B:
While picking through the throw away pile I found this osage splinter. There was plenty of thickness but it was only 3/4" to 7/8" wide. I was gonna see if I could get a bow of 50# or better out of this splinter. But it wasn't to be. She had issues with twists, whoop te dos and snakes that had to be tamed and thus I wasn't gonna make 50#. So I opted for a sweet shooting light weight bow for a youngster or beginner. She is 61 1/2"t/t, 35#@24". She is built with a semi rounded belly, limb width is straight to the last 6" and tapers to 1/4" tips. Black walnut overlays at the tips and handle riser...and she is a sweet shooter.    Pat
