Osage Bow For Trade

<< < (2/3) > >>

Brock:
I would send it to bowyer to remove some weight...I had a 63# osage buffalo spirit and had John Strunk take it down to around 57#...refinished it and all.  Worth a shot if you really like the bow.

John K:
Have you built any bows before ? I don't see why you couldn't do it you'r self !

NorthernArcher:
I have built a few bows myself, but it has been a while.  The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning toward retillering it myself.  I'll have to make that a project for this summer.

Thanks, all, for the advice.  If any of you have retillered old bows before, feel free to offer advice.  I would hate to screw it up.

Pat B:
If the tiller is good make your scrapes long and even and the same on both limbs.

DEllis:
To keep the scrape depth even you can use a rasp and rough up the belly.....the teeth tend to cut quite consistent depth grooves and then scrape the rasp marks away......be sure to quit scraping when the rasp marks(your depth guides) dissapear. This works well for me.
