Osage Bow

<< < (6/8) > >>

Marc St Louis:
No you don't have to temper Osage but sometimes it helps. I seal my bows with shellac and Tung oil. My shellac had truned darker, it was orange, for some reason. That's why the bow is dark

I am due for a recurve Steve, started one actually. It's a bit off the wall though so it might take me a bit to finish

Lennie. There's Osage, Ash then more Osage then Ash and then a topping of Bloodwood. Actually the limbs have about 5 rings to them, maybe 6

jignfrog:
Marc that is a good looking bow as always. I like how dark it is. Great tiller.

GregB:
Good looking bow. Did you intentionally remove the osage from the handle area to incorporate the other woods or did your stave thickness push that direction?

Marc St Louis:
There was enough thickness Greg but it was a matter of getting the rings I wanted to use for the belly. The outer part of the stave has rings that are allmost microscopic

OldBow:
Full Draw?
