Osage takedown bow

<< < (2/10) > >>

Muskyman:
Did some more work on the bow today. Got it shaped and down to about 5/8 thickness in the limbs

Pat B:
Looking good so far.
 How does the floor tiller look?  If good, at 5/8" thick it might be time for temporary nocks and long string to see how it bends.

superdav95:
The handle is pretty easy to get sorted.  I’ve done cork to build up a bit the wrap with leather which works.  If you want to use epoxy fg wrap on outer sleeve then shape and contour to your liking then a leather wrap to cover would look real nice too.  Looks good your in good shape for dimensions I think. 

Muskyman:
Not bending yet Pat. If any just slightly.
Not sure what fg wrap is Dave but I’ll google it.
I post more as I get further along.

Googled it, fiberglass

Thanks Mike

Ya should have clarified.  Fibreglass for fg.  I was saying you could rough up your outer sleeve and tape off rest of upper and lower fade of bow limbs and build up your grip area a bit and then shape and contour with a file or task the way you want before leather wrapping
