Broken Need Replacement, one of my favorite bows i have had up untill today was one made by Vinson Minor in 2010, i bought it from a couple of older folks at the TBOF in 2010 at "poppin mocs" . it was a pretty yellow bamboo back with nodes on, golden osage and brown leather wrapped handle, satin finish . well i got really stupid today and tried to string it backwards, dark room and wasnt paying attention, well it is now a 3 piece broke bow. it did break rather easy bending it backwards, i guess i chalk that up to one of lifes lessons, man i felt stupid. ok i would really like another one, if any of you bowyers make one like this please let me know. i am low on cash money but have nice bows to trade maybe we can work something out. also have osage bow blanks nice ones! Tennessee Osage from Mike McGuire stock, about 2 yrs old now. bows i have for trade or blanks, hundreds of inserts for alum shafts and field points for wood arrows, leather top old bear quiver, any of you guys interested? it was 40# at 28" and 67" long.  replacement bow dont need to be exact but close and same look,  a true 40-45# would be nice the broke bow felt like 30# to me , Thanks, Ken

I've turned good bows from Mike McGuire's bow blanks, well cured wood before he ships 'em out, two more years can only improve their cure! 

Wish I had something to trade, Ken, but that's a style I've never tried.  Good luck, brother.

coyote1956:
Thanks JW  i know something will turn up !  yes the osage blanks are prime stuff !  have some nice other bows for trade i just dont use much.   another pict to show it better .

adb:
Why don't you just make a bow yourself from one of the blanks?

ionicmuffin:
I think he wants to get a quality bow very similar to the one he had. He might not be able to replicate the design of the old bow.
