First try at Osage
Muskyman:
Thanks Dave. I’ve watched several videos of people putting it on a bow and I don’t think anyone ever said when they put it on.. Makes since now that I think about it. Hoping to get back to work on it soon.
Muskyman:
Did a little more work on my stave today. Took the limbs down to about 65 thousandths. It’s got some bend in the limbs but there was some places that had some reflex so I got the heat gun out and heated and clamped it down. I’m not sure if I got it straight or not yet. I left it clamped down to my bench. Wasn’t sure about how much heat to put on it so I figured I’d go slow and if it needs more I’ll try again..
Muskyman:
Seems to have straightened out pretty good. Going to try and work on getting it to where I can get a string on it this week. Then work on trying to tiller it.. I have some rawhide coming in the next day or two. After I get the backing on it, and if it doesn’t break then or before I’m planning on painting the back. And I have some elk leather I’ll probably make a handle with.
superdav95:
Good stuff. Keep us posted on your progress.
Muskyman:
Got a little more work done on my bow today. Floor tillered it and cut in nocks and got it on a long string. Did some scraping and quit before I got to carried away and did something stupid. Gonna try and work more on it this week.
