Osage Shortbow 56" 45#@27"
« on: July 25, 2018, 04:40:02 pm »
These bend through the handle shortbows are fun! I thought this would be an appropriate bow to build as I set up shop in the Southeast. This is from a shorter, narrow osage stave that I got from Keenan. It was definitely a scenario where you get whatever bow the stave has to offer and nothing more.  I will definitely be making more of these in the future. The black sections are leather dye edged with paint. I did some simple little pin nocks to go with the theme.

Great looking little bendy handle. That color pattern looks real good now, but I bet it’ll look amazing once the Osage starts to darken up.

Thanks, Kyle! I was thinking that too, about the color

Thank you, Mark!

Thanks, DC. I am. This is my backyard. The woods are pretty behind my house, but the lighting is not great for pictures, and I don't have any epic, sweeping landscapes for a backdrop anymore. I like my little shop. I'll post some pictures when it's totally finished.

Thanks, Mike

Aww, shucks... Thanks Eddie

Thank you, Rob

Thanks, Bjrogg!

Someone on facebook kindly pointed out to me that my nock point is high and that my arrow is crooked. He's right! Sheesh, look at that arrow... It is an oceanspray shoot shaft that decided to take advantage of the crazy humidity here and revert back to it's natural form. I didn't notice when I posed for the picture. I'll get a better full draw picture tomorrow.  ::)

I love simple bows like this. Very pleasing to the eye. Did you have any reflex in the stave to start ? I'm working on an Osage bow very similar to the vine maple willow leaf limb design that you have on youtube. It will be narrower though.

It’s not anger just a little east coast attitude adjustment setting in! ;D
56” Osage sliver makes tons of functional sense to me and great to carry.  Cool bow!
Hope things are beginning to settle in for y’all.
