First try at Osage

(1/18) > >>

Muskyman:
As some of you know I been fooling around with a piece of Osage that I grabbed from my scrap pile. With the tiny growth rings. Well I finally decided enough is enough and started making it into a bow.
I’m probably going to back it with rawhide but, here’s a few pictures of where I’m at. I did glue a piece on the riser for my handle and fades with Titebond 3. Not the worst fit for a file job, for me anyway.

Muskyman:
Couple more pictures

Muskyman:
Last one

Muskyman:
Better picture of riser

organic_archer:
Nice! Make sure the fades dib after the riser so you don’t risk popping off the handle! Thin ringed osage still makes a fine bow. I back them with rawhide, not because they “need” it, but because it protects those thin rings against the inevitable dings/scratches.
