Osage Reflex/Deflex (10 yr bow)

(1/3) > >>

SA:
This is one I just finished up, I started it about 10+ yrs ago its from a sister stave to a bow I made for JW Halverson in one of the first bow trades.
This stave had some natural deflex so I flipped the tips to make it somewhat of a R/D bow, got it shaped, sanded, tips put on and floor/very low brace tillered then put it away for 10 yrs. thought it was time to finish  ;D.
This is some pretty hard Osage (and a little snakey), it has a nice ring to it when tapped on (like ceramic) was a little tricky to tiller but it turned out nice I think....kinda glad I waited to finish it. 

SPECS.
59" NTN (60" overall)
45# at 26"
5" brace height.
tips are osage and purple heart laminate.
finish with a leather handle wrap and a few coats of tru oil, I really like the contrast between the back and belly but it will eventually turn all the same color.

SA:
few more pics

Looks great Shawn. I like the bend on that.  Looks like good things comes to those who wait. 

Muskyman:
Very nice work. Love the color on the back. Just something about it.

Hamish:
10 years. Definitely worth the wait.
