A board bow for Jawge

(1/6) > >>

bjrogg:
I split this board-stave out of a Osage plank my cousin sawed on his mill. I chased a ring on it and followed the side grain from end to end.

I know I have pictures somewhere showing how I split it a posted asking if it was a board or a stave? I can’t find it anywhere though.

I remember George saying it was a board bow and that’s how you should try to make one if you can.

It’s been hanging from it’s knot hole in my shop for several years now.

Every time I look at it I think of George. I guess because he has helped so many people with their board bows.

For some reason I really got the urge to work on this board stave earlier this winter and got it shooting shortly before George left us.

Still finishing it up yet but took some pictures today.

My first board bow. Thanks for the help Jawge. It shoots really nice.

Anything but straight as a board. This one has some real character traits that made it a bit of a challenge.
