Three Eyed Osage Molly
« on: April 30, 2012, 06:28:07 pm »
This nasty stave came from a 6" diameter dead standing osage tree i cut last summer that has been dead for several years. It had some bug damage to it,but it was so pipe straight i decided to take the gamble and hope i wood find good wood unferneath the damage. Well,after debarking/removing sapwood i did get down to something semi managable. It has 3 small holes in it and lots of natural checks along and on the back,and some on the belly. A couple checks go right up to and thru two of the knot holes. For some reason this stave was telling me to make a Molly out of it despite its appearences. I will be honest I was skeptical,but now im a believer. Osage is awesome stuff and can take it. I named her Three Eyed Molly for obvious reasons. And I Love Her So Much  :-*

The stats on the bow are.....60"ntn......50@26".....17.8 ounces of arrow flinging fury......13" long working limb....13" levers(50/50 ratio)....1 1/2" wide full width of the lenght of the working limbs...and my goodnes scary narrow tips  >:D...and it maintains an inch of reflex right after she is unstrung,and rests at 1 3/8".

thanks for peeking,n as always enjoy it for what its worth...Chris

I love the dye job man. This is a fine example of just what osage can handle. It has wind checks all through it, knot holes and bug damage yet allows you to build a highly stressed bow design and perform well. LONG LIVE THE KING!
