Dana, My daughter gave us that tree face. They are molded plastic and look quite real...if I didn't know better.  ;D    Pat

OldBow:
When you think how many would have made a bean pole out of splinter like that.
Nice job, Pat. - Bookmarked, too

great looking little osage bow!  i have some staves that i am looking to turn into light bows for kids.  could you give me some thickness dimensions back to belly of your limbs at handle/fade/midlimb/tip?  i'd love to have a starting place.

thanks!

Pat B:
Stan, The thickness at the fades of this bow is 5/8" but the width is only 3/4" or so. If you are working with board bows 1/2" at the fades will get you started. I very rarely measure thickness. I make the bow the length and width and just remove wood until I get the weight I'm looking for.    Pat

Dingleberry:
awesome bow,  i learn alot from seeing your bows and reading your descriptions. :)
