bjrogg:
It’s been way too long since I’ve made any shavings.

Had this 47” long piece of Osage sitting around for a few years with a ring chase and roughed out .

Wasn’t sure if I would make a short bow or use it for a billet.

I decided it’s going to be a short bow.

A little shy of 47” tip to tip

I’m still not sure what I m going to make .

I know a little person who had a low weight fiberglass bow as a child. It was part of his physical therapy and he asked me if I could make him a Selfbow.

I told him I would like him to come over and learn how to string, shoot and just plain care for a Selfbow before I gave him one.

As often happens it seems like it has been difficult for the two of us to get our schedules to match up. Mostly it’s my fault.

I’ve had this stick in mind for his bow.

Hopefully we can get together soon.

In the meantime it felt good to make some shavings.

Here’s the stick dust and all

bjrogg:
It has a good amount of character. A bunch of twist too.

I think it would fit my little person friend good

PEARL DRUMS:

bjrogg:
Thanks Pearl its definitely way overdue

Got it bending a little last night but I know it’s way, way to heavy for my friend yet.
