It’s been to long since I have posted a bow. And certainly too long finishing up this one. Sometimes that happens when you are trying to get it perfect.

I got this stave from a pretty special guy. I didn’t even ask for it. He simply sent it to me. I couldn’t compensate him enough for it. It was by far the nicest stave I ever saw.

Of course me being me. I could see two bows in it.

It had very thick late wood rings and hardly anything for early wood rings. It behaved completely different than any Osage I have split in the past. Usually it kinda follows the early wood ring. This split right off the top of the stave.

I was flabbergasted.

I stood there holding what should have been the bonus stave. The stave the real bow should have come from was ruined.

I proceeded much more carefully and stored that experience in the do not do again file.

I wanted to make this bow for an event I would like to attend someday. Someday is probably what I should have named it, but I named her “Flats or Bust”lol probably not the best name for a Selfbow.

I built this bow with the flight shoot in mind. I had it shooting really nice at my draw. I originally was going to go 50@28”, but I have been shooting it and it really shoots nice. The event take place in September and no way I’m getting out of here then. Someday. In the meantime I’m hunting and shooting with this one. It feels really good.

Thanks so much Arvin
