Small cracks across osage pin knots? (torture test added)

Wow, that’s some serious strain going on. It does show you what a good piece of Osage could be capable of. Hate to see you lose it, it had such a perfect tiller, but good to see the test results. But I know I would have wrapped it, and shot it until it gave up, or I did lol.

bradsmith2010:
you could sinew back it,, and see how it compares to the self bow version,,no need to burn it,,,it will still kill a deer,,

Hamish:
I was impressed by how low the bow's original set was. Even after that sadistic torture test its still got very little set, and no chrysals.

I reckon that it will make a fine hunting bow, either unbacked or with some sinew on it.

bradsmith2010:
yes Im sure someone would love to have it,, heat it into some reflex,, sinew back and gift,, )P(

ssrhythm:
Wow!  It should be disposed of properly.  Just send it to me, and I’ll handle it free of charge.

Seriously, back it and go kill critters with it!  Impressive bow in many ways.
