another osage war bow attempt
sleek:
I have the same thing here going on. I feel like I could throw the arrow harder. It has taken an inch of set which I dont understand because this wood is dry and old. Not to mention its a huge bow. I really just want to make it shoot worth a darn at this point. Id hate to cut it down to normal dimensions. I will start with reducing the tips.
sleek:
I am gripping the bow below center. Tiller doesnt seem to appreciate that. I also neeed to bring the upper limb around a touch it seems.
sleek:
End grain at the tip. Lots of rings.
sleek:
Belly rings.

Del, go for ring backed. Leave the sapwood. Just remove the bark. You wont be sorry.

It's not got a clean ring or bark back, but I can chase a ring, no prob, mind I think it has some sideways bend...
You can see I'm a bit scared of it ::)
